I have had this computer for about 3.5 years now.  Sure, I am sentimentally attached to it, but as a college student this computer just will not do.  My friends are all aware of how slow it is, and that has definitely been a problem come finals time.  The viruses this computer has caught have cost me quite a bit of money for anti-viral programs, which are the only thing that has kept this laptop barely functional.  Yes, it has lasted me some years, but I also have had more problems than I can count on it.  If you like going on the internet, well, this computer is not for you, since sometimes the search engines decide they just don't want to cooperate, taking you to sites you did not request to see, which is obviously very fun.Like I said, this computer has been with me for quite some time, and it's been through a lot.  But please, save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.
