If you’d buy a new laptop, you could upgrade the old one instead

I could, but by the time I need a new laptop (last one I bought was 2017) the chassis and screen end up beat to shit and need to be replaced anyways.

I also just have no use for upgrades in my laptops. They’re always single purpose machines and I replace them when they break, not when they get slow.

I have a desktop that keeps up with modern hardware. Never got the need for the same in my laptop

But... you could replace the part that breaks instead of buying a new laptop

Honestly, I’ll say I’ll do it and then never do it.

The chassis is the most reusable part, which also is the most broken part by the time I’m done with a laptop, so I’d need to buy new internals and a new chassis, at which point I’ve just bought a new laptop
