considering the price of the screen and cable, replacing it makes sense since I can handle the work myself. The 15m-ed0023dx hp laptop offers both touch and non-touch options; the latter is significantly cheaper with a smaller screen, while the 16GB RAM version provides more performance. My current Dell Inspiron 15-5547 has a touchscreen but isn’t used for gaming, it has 12GB RAM and an upgraded M.2 SSD.
The touch screen seems more like a novelty than a real benefit on a standard laptop. If your existing model works fine, consider sticking with it. The investment value depends on what you’re willing to spend. The learning process is beneficial, but ultimately it’s your decision whether the effort and risk of repairing it are worthwhile. You could also opt for a different setup—use a monitor instead and enjoy a compact desktop version.
Many users relied on the touch screen feature to start a lot of things. I calculated the expenses after posting with some buffer, and it came in under $200. For a reasonably powerful laptop, the 2014 model looks like a good choice.
I trade and fix computers as a side project. Honestly, the touch screen shines when it's part of a laptop or tablet setup. For standalone laptops, very few people use it, and some even request turning it off to avoid unwanted inputs while they interact with the screen... Regarding the 200-piece build for a solid laptop, it looks fair but you're still the one paying and taking the chance. The choice is ultimately yours. Have a great day!
