 I've had mine for 6 years. The speakers are terrible, but other than that it will probably last me another 10 years. Try playing some video games though just to see if it overheats. Tuxkart is a good candidate. I had to repaste my CPU because they over pasted it at the factory and it overheated easily. A little liquid metal paste and I can game on it now. Not that I do, but I could if I wanted.

 Primal and Docker are the hardest challenges I pose.

 The only point of the exercise is to test if it has thermal issues. Can be a problem if you are crunching prime numbers as well 😃
