Banks and corporations change computers every 3-5 years because accounting love to lease rather to buy

3-5 years is a pretty standard depreciation schedule for IT equipment like computers, peripheral accessories etc.

Computers and laptops (using Straight-line method): 31.67% with a useful life of 3 years.

Computers and laptops (using Written Down Value method): 63.16% with a useful life of 3 years

It really has nothing to do with leasing vs. buying.
