Well, my dad bought me a Toshiba Satellite laptop for 2012 christmas. After about 1 year of having it, I let my siblings use it for a while, they broke the lcd, so we got that fixed. Now I can't even left click. Not only those problems, this laptops is HORRIBLE for games low settings around 5-10 fps on Arma II. He knows I love gaming, he asks me about it all the time. He said "I already told you I'm not going to buy another computer".
 
There are cheap ways to replace the rig. Cheapest would be auctions at govdeals.com Decent duel cores out there for 25-50 bucks. (USD)
