Is it a fanless laptop? Fans aren't any different than filters in cars. They fail and need replaced.

If it is a generic laptop, yes. 10 years is a stretch. Components used in the motherboard are probably not high quality enough to last more than 10 years. A manufacturer does not have an incentive to put high quality stuff (that is probably costlier) in a laptop who's only selling point is cheap for the "features", and not reliability or longevity..
One might get lucky with such a laptop, but I won't count on it.
