Suitability of the Thinkpad Z60m

I'm looking for a laptop to take to university this september and was considering this laptop.

My requirements include:
-basic word processing, office programs
-internet
-watching films, DVDs
-playing some games (Counterstrike Source, Football Manager)

I would like to be able to keep my laptop for at least 5 years and was wondering whether this would be suitable?

Cheers

 

I'm a very humble source though I am of the opinion that the z60m will be fine in 5 years. I think anyone will tell you that some jealousy could arise in a few years when more software is able to utilize the 64-bit technology of the newer chips. Also, I know the dedicated card on the z60m is somewhat on the slower end, as of today, so I suspect that the graphics card adequacy may be an issue if the most basic games of today begin to become more demanding in the future. I just switched from a very outdated Dell that I bought in 2002. It was still able to do all of my basic tasks but I started to become bothered by the fact that it couldn't keep up with imaging software I use for work. Any machine you buy now will be relatively slow in 5 years, but that is to be expected. I find that other laptops start to physically deteriorate (buttons, screen scratches, rubber feet falling off, etc.) before they become electronically unuseable. The ThinkPads seem so well built that they will be structurally respectable in 5 years. That's one of the biggest selling points for me..
