I have read that lap top life span is about 2 yrs. I have mine almost 4 years and i use it exessvly(its turned on almost whole day and i also game 3-4hrs per day) but however its working fine, i have checked all parts with dell tech assitant tool and everything seems to be ok with the hardwere. Also my softwere is working fine i have windows 10 and and there are no errors or stuff.
My temp while gamig is about 75-82C, chrome and internet stuff 60-70C
So should i be worried that my lap top will give up soon and die?
Lap top specs:
Dell inspiron 3000 series
Intel i5 4210U
Ram 4gb
Nvidia 820m 2GB graphics
WD 5400 rpm HDD

It's also crucial to stay on top of BIOS and driver updates. Hope this helps you decide if you want to spill coffee on it or keep on, keeping on.

You'll probably be wanting to get rid of your laptop way before it will die on you! Help with laptop ventilation and some cleaning (software and hardware) or with some laptop cooling pad and it will last you for many years to come.
