Every laptop I’ve ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I’ve ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.
Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It’s not just me being bad at computer or something?
Make and model number and I’ll try to point you towards what you can do to fix it.
Computers are like cars. Any amount of money you’re looking to spend on a kia would be better spent on an older, higher mileage Toyota or Honda instead.
In this case, an older thinkpad (or other business class laptop) or mac would be an infinitely better purchase than a newer consumer grade laptop.
