The laptop's battery in Nepal is WDX0R, which isn't very good. At full charge it lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, and its health drops quickly. I believe spending money on a battery isn't wise in 2025, especially since I bought this laptop in 2015. I looked up power banks nearby: UGREEN 20000mAh 100W costs 9499 NPR, while Xiaomi offers a 10,000mAh model for 5199 NPR. Should I invest in a power bank or abandon the laptop?
The price of a genuine battery for your laptop right now, in your area, would be determined by several factors. At full efficiency, it offers 1.5 to 2 hours of usage. The figure you've considered may change based on the tax rules applied to your device. If you're using an older platform, you could adjust your CPU's cache, vcore and iGPU settings to extend battery life and reduce heat generation. Personally, I wouldn't spend on a laptop that's ten years old; I'd prefer a newer model or a compact desktop instead.
i am definitely considering purchasing mini pcs (such as mac mini)...they offer better value. but i also intend to connect through a laptop using tailscale vpn...so i need one too...should i sell my current laptop and buy a new one? But what could i possibly receive for under 30,000 npr? Only refurbished models are available at that price.
