In digital, pollution happens during construction way more than usage. It still makes sense to use a decade-old computer.
The second-hand market is filled with material that was built at same point; you having access to your nice second hand laptop is due to newer laptops being built all the time. It is still sending a signal upstream that such a computer can be sold.
I do agree that buying second hand is much better than buying new, but not even buying is still better here
