My laptops are on 24/7 - if you look after your hardware theres no reason it should fail after two years.
And my laptop is never idle - apart from running the folding@home program constantly it also runs another research project for MIT, has AVG scans for 1 hour 30 mins at 3am, spybot, adaware and vista manager also do various scans and clean ups through the day and I'm also normally glued to it as well as using it to run software for my work which requires excessive amounts of the CPU, RAM and fast transfer rate from HDD to RAM.
If you buy a
cheap laptop or
misuse it then yes, 2 years is about its lifetime!
