I will admit it lasted a long time and it was easy to service -- I upgraded it about 5 times over 5 years before I eventually got rid of it. Actually, I gave it to my dad and he used it for a further 3 or 4 more years. It probably still works ... who knows where it is today.

Around 3 years in I bought a new HP dv9700 on eBay and it failed within 6 months. HP declined to replace because it was from overseas. I ended up back on the "trusty Toshiba" which yeah I'll be honest it wasn't that bad for a cheap $1000 laptop.
