And by his wounds we are healed.

That still seems to be rather excessive damage for no heatsink.

You can probably get away with spending a little less than that, even. But a $500 laptop will almost always last longer than a $300 laptop.

Check places like the Dell outlet for dirt cheap refurbed laptops
