I was not clear first time. When I said 'you will regret later' I was referring to hardware issues. In last 2.5 years my dad owned a laptop ... 1. The LCD monitor developed a green vertical line on left side. 2. I had to get the keyboard replaced. 3. Battery time has gone down to 1.5 hours. 4. USB ports intermittently die. For some reason this also affects bluetooth. It is possible that the model my dad have (NX6120) is of poor quality and not all the laptops from the series are bad.
