It was and still is one of the stablest, all-around-good laptops I’ve seen. I’ve since replaced it as the technology marches on, but it continues to run nicely and serves as a chats machine around the house.

My laptop’s battery pack lost most of its capacity 9 months into ownership. Handed the whole laptop + battery back to them for a few days. It came back with a brand new $200 battery pack for $0 cost to me. Not bad for a $225 warrantee. And I’ve another year or so to go.
Does point out the need for capability to back up the hard drive before servicing–which PowerQuest’s Drive Image did fine for me.
Hope you find a solution to your liking, Dunc, and not too hard on the wallet.
