To think about it, I have yet to see such a well built laptop to this day. My relative used this laptop heavily for CAD work as well as a lot of Automotion work, as well as some programming and machine control for industrial applications, as well as his primary home PC and travel PC. It's ran while in industrial environments through extremely dusty/dirty conditions in warm environments and STILL works, and doesn't overheat as well. I've only had to replace the CD/DVD drive in it once, as well as the power supply twice (cheap POS builds, hence their failure. The old original Power supply brick burnt up and fried itself after 8 years in service)
