Funny you should mention the "propeller test", as this is why I've stayed away from Dell laptops, and instead went for the HP Compaq's with the magnesium chassis in the early 00's! I've stayed...

...would recommend "propeller test". Grab sides of laptop and try to twist it into propeller shape. If it is flexible, it is junk that will fail soon. If it is solid, it has great chance to last long. Flexing system board - motherboard is common jargon for over 30 years - leads to developing microcracks in it: copper when going through plastic deformation hardens, then cracks. Good luck.

Hello, I have an old IBM Netvista. Lately, it would seem to go into sleep mode but I have all that disabled. I would have to power off to wake it up. Now I think its done.
