Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
They are really quite sturdy. I bought mine a few years ago for a few hundred, as I just needed a cheap laptop for school, and this fit the bill perfectly. Anyway, if you want the batteries, send me a message, I can be flexible with the price, if need be.
Unfortuntely my parents use it to surf the internet infront of the TV (can you tell we're American?) and I dont think they'd take kindly to parting with it. Is there a big market for the M700 or something?
