Honestly, that's great, for you. Still, it's unnecessary to give me an FYI. This is what I do, all day, every day, for the most part. I've probably worked with more laptops this year than in your whole life, which is not to say that your opinion is invalid. Just that I probably have a lot more experience and historical familiarity with many models of laptops, over many years (30+ to be exact), than you probably do. If you think a five year old laptop is a good value at 200 bucks, maybe it is. I just don't happen to agree based on what I know in regard to how long these units typically last before problems develop with the cooling or power jacks on them.
