The battery was never great to begin with, and it's unchargeable now. It no longer accepts AC/DC power - any power cord makes a horrible shrieking noise when plugged into the computer. It was purchased in 2003 and had been my primary computer, heavily used. Voted "5 years" for my Dell Inspiron 600m that just passed away. Ah well, when most people complain of only getting 1-2 years out of batteries, I won't begrudge 5-6 years! The diagnostic lights give a funky flash pattern that Dell helpfully describes as "replace battery". I'm used to batteries losing life over time, but these went fairly strong then just quit charging one day. I had a fair collection of them, but they are starting to die now. The only real issue I have at this point is batteries.

Removing Windows helped the slow part too! ) Well, yes that's to be expected - the bearings were going out on the hard drive! I replaced it, and that machine too is working well. No one wanted it, as it was "too slow" and ran hot as a firecracker. I also have another C-series laptop of about the same age (can't recall the model number right off) that was "surplus" from the office. I don't use it a whole lot right now, so it sees a lot less wear and tear than it used to, but it still works just fine. ah, fine individual who they sent to replace them actually gutted the machine, removed the fans, then put the ORIGINAL bad fans back in AND left them unplugged!) (Although I had to replace them myself, the idi. And the cooling fans started making noise, that too was covered under warranty. I dropped a book on the keyboard and broke a key, got that replaced under warranty. Still going just fine, although it has had a few parts replaced along the way. Best I can recall, that was around 2001-2002 somewhere in there.

I was always satisfied with how the Dell Latitude series lasted at work, so when I bought a laptop I went with a refurb C840.

The death of this machine led me to install Linux on my tower :Dīoth machines used as mobile laptops (not desktop replacements). Just under 3 years of use.b0rked thermostats leading to erratic and random shutdowns. 3 years after the above, keyboard has deadĪpple UnderPoweredBook G4, Alu 1.5gHz 15" After this went I was a MacFanboi for a while, and gave this machine off to a friend.partyl due to rep, also because after 3 years of WinME-I had had enough of Windows. Fine for 3 years.random invertor card getting fried under warranty.never found cause.but repeated shipping and replacement and continually frying invertors led to Toshiba basically giving me a new laptop over the course of 6 months.all in all 4 or 5 invertor cards were fried under warranty with cause never found-8 or 10 rounds of overnight air shipping footed by Toshiba. The posts even have the potential to demonstrate what makes & models are consistently living into their greying & balding years instead of dying prematurely like most do. I thought that all of those who have or do own notebooks would be interested to see just what kind of average lifespan the things have. I'm surprised at the lack of interest in this thread.
