I'm still using my Satellite laptop given by my sister on my 18th birthday. Yes, that's four and a half years ago! It's still functioning properly. I only reformatted it (for the first time) last Wednesday.
I dropped the adapter last Tuesday, which I thought was no big deal. Then when I turned it on, the computer automatically shut down after five seconds. Turned it on again , a blue screen popped out with notes saying there's something wrong with the latest software/hardware installed. I turned it on again after five minutes, it started up normally. I hurriedly saved some files that night, bought a new flash drive with higher memory the next day. I was afraid of losing all my files in case there's a problem with start up again, so I reformatted it just to be safe. Good thing I brought my recovery disk here.
I had a good laugh when I saw the desktop: it has a shortcut to 30-day trial of *drumroll* Napster! The Adobe installed is Version 5, the IE has no tab features. My Windows Media Player 10 and iTunes are gone. The anti-virus software is Norton 2004. Haha. Talk about going back in time.
I have no idea how long this laptop will last, but it's as fast as a new one now. Yes, I need to update all the software installed and save all my files again. I'm still saving up for a new one, so I will still use my Satellite for the time being. I just need to update everything, rename the folders, put my photos back, change the wallpaper and screensaver, and my desktop would make me feel it's already 2010 again.
