He is an avid gamer, and always wants the latest equipment. Late last year, he bought a fairly high-end model from Sager so he could game on the road. His desktop died shortly after he got it (some disk problem I think), so he just hooked up his desktop monitors/keyboard/mouse to the laptop, and just ran like that. It was faster than his old desktop anyway.

He just now got a new desktop, so I would say he ran it like a desktop for 8-9 months, probably on at least 10 hours a day (gaming/surfing/working). No problems that I know of.
