So you know your funds and how much you care about getting a new laptop than I do

But

Just hearing you describe that laptop has me cringing like a motherfucker. Especially the USB thing, that's a huge pet peeve of mine. And mousepad moving on its own, gah.

So I'm going to say yes, three-ish years is enough time to upgrade imo, especially if it's working for you that poorly. And if you want something that last's a while, I'd get a macbook. Busted my ass a whole summer to get mine, but I also don't think I'll need to buy another laptop for another 3 years - and that's including the two I've already had this thing for.
