Had this laptop since 2016 and it still works fine, I do add. I rarely dropped it and I never used it for gaming just music production & streaming plus I put thermal paste on the CPU and GPU so it probably all played a role in its longevity lol but you get the jist. The laptop is "old reliable". The only real problem I had with my laptop is that the touch pad doesn't work anymore but that could be due to wear and tear. But if you're looking for a laptop that's strictly for music production or work or anything besides gaming. This is your go to guarantee
