I've had this laptop since the summer before my freshman year of college, and I'm now going into my senior year. As expected, my laptop has experienced a bit of wear and tear, and thank goodness I bought the protection plan! I am not very rough with the screen at all, and it has come unhinged twice in the time I've had it. I have a few friends with this laptop and the same problem, as well (this is the laptop my school promoted to incoming freshmen my year). The screen is starting to have issues now (even before it came unhinged), as there are discolorations and lines running down it. Many of my keyboard letters have rubbed off. One thing I love about this keyboard, though, is that they keys are relatively easy to take off and put back on for cleaning, but the air pump doesn't work very well if the keys are all on. Another thing I love is that is has both the keyboard and touchpad mouses. Sometimes if you use the keyboard mouse for too long it will scroll by itself and you can't control it for a minute or so. The battery life drains quickly; about 6 months after getting the laptop it was already significantly lower. I replaced the battery about 8 months ago, because my laptop couldn't stay on for more than 20-30 minutes without the charger. The charger is annoying to wrap because after wrapping it about 10 times, the piece of rubber that holds the clip together falls out of the band.
