I don't think this laptop is going to last me long.  I bought this to replace an old Dell Latitude, and I have mixed feelings.  When it works, it's great.  But the plastic frame is super flimsy and easily broken, particularly around the power cable connection.  I think the plastic around the hole was cracked within a few weeks, and now I have a big crack running all the way to the Esc key in the top left.  I had this problem with an old HP laptop, and after a couple of years it was just crunchy with cracks, and I think this one is going the same direction.  Even sitting with it on my lap, I can see the plastic flex and the crack widen and narrow depending on how I'm holding it.Performance wise it is good 90% of the time.  I can play a lot of the sidescroller Steam games, like Salt & Sanctuary and Child of Light.  But it is prone to odd slowdowns every now and then.  Which is really frustrating since I upgraded the RAM to 16 GB.  I still haven't figured out why it has these slowdowns, but it seems to be related to the power cable. For example, if it becomes unplugged while gaming, the performance crashes instantly.  And since the plastic around the power cable port is cracking and breaking, it's not always a snug fit to know if the power cable is connected in such a way that it is actually feeding power to the device.  Being unable to charge the laptop without pushing the power cable in just so is what ultimately led me to junk my old HP, so I'm sad to be reliving the same silly defect 15 years later.Anyway, I'll use this until it is impossible to do so, but I'm also thinking I should have stuck with the Latitude series from Dell since they build more robust laptops.  If you plan on leaving this on your desk, it's probably a good deal.  but if you plan to use this on your lap and take it with you places, it's probably not hardy enough for that life.
