Hey guys, I am considering buying this laptop, and would like to get an estimation of how many years it would last.

CPU : AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 (2.0 GHz, Dual Core)
RAM : 2048 MB (2 x 1024) DDR2
Hard Disk Drive : 160 GB (5400 rpm)
GPU : ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 - 512 MB
OS : Vista Ultimate
Webcam, WiFi b/g, BlueTooth, HDMI out…

Well?

I would be primarily using it for school; Office suite, as well as internet browsing, email and MSN, probably some music listening and maybe mild gaming.
 
lol pretty mild gaming, but ok should last like 3 years, depending on how much performance you "can bare" using at the 3 year mark

it should run new programs much longer after that, but ive seen people with 10 year old laptops...

mild? id say 7 no 6/10. mild is like 4. anyway, not bad for a lappy, though i might buy it from the name alone lol. nice cars, hope the name applies to the computer and 10 years wow, the most ive seen is 7-8

Well?? If no gaming, how long?

Take into consideration the DUAL CORE, 64 BIT, 2 GIGS RAM and VISTA ULTIMATE.

doesn't matter. in 3-5 years, multi-core processors(8-10 cores), 4 gigs of ram and that new MS OS that they swear has the bugs worked out, again, will be out. You wanna buy something that will last, buy a macbook pro. Standardization is the key to longevity.
 
its a good note book but overpriced for the features; as an alternative i would go for a travelmate 8200 as they have the option of a better graphics chip which will help more in the long run.

3 years tops is my estimation for that system
