New laptop, how long do you think it will last?

So here's my laptop specs.

2.1 ghz intel CORE 2 Duo

4 gigs of ram

300 gigs hard drive *(just throw that in for the funs)

ATI 4570 512 mbs of V-mem

Now I know some of you might go "mmm. that proc might be a bit slow compared to what you could have" or, "nmmm that video card isn't exactly a 4XXX"

Well, here are some facts before that. I got this laptop for free. Yeah it was just given to me. I had an HP laptop with a 3 year warranty. 3 years went by, and HP increased my warranty for free, when my laptops mother board broke, seeing as the model line had a faulty mother board (And some people hate HP.) So with that extra year, it was 4 years in total (just so you don't have to do the math, I know I know no thanks needed). Anyway, it broke again for the 5th time, so the tech guys at the store said, "Ok it broke too many times we are going to give you a new laptop." and so..yeah there it is.

Now that the back story is out of the way, how long do you think it will last? In terms of playing games. Right now it plays crysis at medium-high. Sometimes need to switch things down during some area's like the snow areas in crysis warhead, but it's usually not that bad. I'm going to be building my own pc in a bit, this actually saves me time though, but still how long do you think it will last.

If anyones interested on what I traded in for this laptop, well my old one had.

1.9 ghz turion X2

Nvidia 7200 GO 215 v-mem

120Gigs hard drive

2 gigs of ram.

Not bad at all, I would say it will last you 3-4 yrs, but you will have to turn the settings down, dont expect to play next yrs games in high.

Yeah I figured that as much. I can play some games right now on max like the batman game that just came out. I'm pretty impressed with it. I think it's mostly the video card that slows me down, being one of the middle range cards for the 4000 series but hey I can't complain. With in a year ill hgave my new pc, so this is like a year free of gaming.

I have always found HP to have great customer service. Never understood the bashing they got from people online.
