How long will it run

About a 10 days ago, I installed Linux and handbrake on an old i5 laptop and I started transcoding video on it... a log of video, so it's running 24/7, at 100% load on the 4 threads. It's stable around 80 to 82.5 degree.

 

I can easily feed it more job for at least a month, but I am curious to see if it can keep up with the work load for an extended period of time, considering that laptop are not designed to run like that, at least it's not overheating.

 

How long do you think it can last ?

Until it breaks...

 

Really it could last for years, or a hour, no real way to tell.
