Hi, Vint! 
Same thinking here!
That's a long story. Read my previous posts on that...
I've done some research on that.
The market value, is around 310 -330 USD.
Here, in România, that's a lot of money. For me, at least... I would think more than twice, before giving it up.
I used to have a Lenovo ThinkPad T400 and I gave it up, because the USB controller and the WiFi chipset, got broken. I was sorry, but had to move on.
This Presario, is close to ThinkPad T400. I would keep it, as long as possible!
I totally subscribe! As I said before, we're speaking of over 300 USD...
I'd like that too, but it still exceeds my hardware budget so far. Maybe next year... Maybe...
I had some expenses that were higher ranked on my priorities list than a new laptop...
Best regards!
