If the laptop lasts 3 years for $400, I think that's a reasonable 
lifespan for a budget product.  Maybe it will, maybe it won't.  At $400, 
it would be hard to pick between this new unit, or an older but higher 
quality used laptop.  I suppose for 99% of the people out there, the 
Wal-Mart junk is good enough.
