I have heard that laptops in general do not last very long, have weird 
problems with memory and even the cases can crack and fall apart within
a few weeks or months of purchase.  Is this true?
How many people have had a problem with the handles falling off or boxes
cracking?  How many other people have had a problem with bad chips?
And finally, how many people have had a hard time getting their software
to run because of system bugs?

I was considering buying a laptop, but it would be a long term investment.
I don't want to have it fall apart after 30 days.  My last question is about
mouse driven software.  How many people use Windows on a PC Clone laptop and
how do you take care of the mouse?  Does the mouse have to be attached and 
detached every time you boot the laptop?

Reply to me directly and I will summarize.  I have six accounts so use any:
