Hi Kevs, since I type my responses rather than dictate them like JoeMikeB, the typos you get from me are honest mistakes rather than misinterpretations by the dictation process.....
I can't give you a month/day/year specifically, but keeping your current laptop for the next year or so would sound reasonable to me.....the real driving factor for a hardware replacement is when it no longer adequately supports your needs with the software in-place at that time.
In other words, if your browsing, emailing, searching efforts are all still working fine in a year, then you can evaluate the hardware upgrade question again at that time.
