My laptop just died, it had one previous owner. Total life was 5 years. I had it for 2 of those years. As for the battery life, mine held a charge a lot longer than 30 minutes and I used it everyday pretty much all day. I used to use it for work then brought it home for use at home. I bought a thinkpad refurbished and the only reason it died was because of a known problem with that particular model, the system board. The only thing I would have done differently was browse forums to look for common problems of the model I was looking at. I was running Windows XP on 256 ram and it was not sluggish at all, and I did most of my graphic design on that thing. When it comes to laptops and computers everyone has their opinion on what is best/better. It is like asking someone what is the best tasting vegetable. Take everything with a grain of salt.
