Mine did not age well. Had problems with the WiFi card crashing routers (killer Wifi). Developed issues with heat which caused problems with stability, video hardware has had all kinds of issues with heat also, can't play Youtube videos at anything over 480p without screen going nuts. Yeah, it still works and is about 6-7 years old but the problems started within 2 years of buying it brand new. Meanwhile I have an old Asus Laptop from 2012 running Win10 still going strong.Same goes for my IBM T420 running Linux. Does all the email, video, office stuff I need it to do effortlessly and just won't die. I replaced the HD with an SSD and added 4 gig of mem back in the day. Will never buy another Dell machine, they make junk.
