“How much has it cost you, after the initial purchase.?”

Nada. Zip. Zilch. I bought the extended warranty and used it once for a swolen battery which was replaced for free (find a reliable laptop fan—they do get hot). So other than software and peripherals, it’s just like I drove it off the showroom floor. Total workhorse of a machine.

The time it has NOT been on in the past 3 years can be counted in days. I leave it on all the time. Rarely shut it down. It’s in use 18+ hours a day. Wake up, open it, and it’s up and running. I demand a lot from my computers. There are faster and trendier laptops out these days, but this one never disappoints.

Rather extensive response for ‘nothing’.
