Same here. Although I have been using the ,aptop from time to time with no ill effects except for a very rare hoster freeze-up, which is usually associated with Virtual DJ up and running at the same time and playing videos in between songs.

I have an acer mini backup laptop as well that is even less power than the Dell XP laptop, but runs okay too. Probably very lucky here.
