It is still running well, the 17 inch screen looks good and it's perfect for leaving on the desk at home, browsing the web, itunes, downloading etc...
Seems like pretty good value, probably the new one will last just as long, at least two years as a production machine, and four years as a useful second. Sounds not too shabby.
I have a TVIX (http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/) connected to a NAS full of .mkv encoded content, it does 1080p, 5.1 etc... Of course you have to be broad minded about file sharing, but since I've had it I haven't seen an advert, or one second of Big Brother, so potential legal action is a small risk compared to that perpetual joy.
