    Holy smoke, that’s one well used laptop, I hope my laptop can last as long as yours

      4 years and 3 months still going strong. I use the touchpad a ton too and that coating on it has come off too, but it’s perfectly usable. It also surprisingly lasted two pretty bad falls with just 1-2 minor cracks that I had to open the laptop up so that i can super glue the cracks just to ensure the cracks won’t spread from future vibrations.

      Visual condition is pretty unappealing, even a bit bad: the erased keycaps, the lifted coat off the touchpad and one visible crack, but it runs just as it did the day I got it

        4 years? My laptop is from 2018 (with only the battery in a shitty condition), my mom had a laptop from ~2004 in 2021 (until I embarrassingly fried the motherboard when replacing the hdd). Electronics last forever if you don’t murder them.
