Nope, it's over 5 years old, had motherboard replaced right before 3y
extened warranty ended.  That crappy Intel ethernet died on me again
not much later, but GPU is probably ok this time (I'm not a heavy user
of 3D).

Anyway, since they fucked up the keyboard and now trackpoint too, I
can't buy me another laptop.  Good thing I don't really need it
anymore. </rant>
