Purchasing a laptop seems connected to something else, like ensuring the power supply is fixed within the warranty or opting for a replacement.
But it's not just the power supply; with the £120 already spent, I need a new HDD and SSD because they've shown bad blocks. That brings the total to around £250. Later this month or next, I'll receive a £300 cost-of-living payment, and if I add £200 of my own money, I could afford a good £500 laptop, making the repair seem unnecessary.
Really good items like a laptop are not exactly correlated with the current exchange rate, which is around $530 USD. It seems like most people are just browsing emails or watching videos instead.
I'm in the UK, thanks for letting me know about that. Because of the Windows issue, I need to buy Windows 11 as well. In local currency, it would cost £358.96, while a decent laptop is around £548.00. That means I'd just need to spend an extra £190. I'm also a Steam gamer, handling emails, documents, music, and lots of videos. All in total, including the license.
It's not about whether it can be fixed, but the cost of software and parts compared to purchasing a new laptop with upgraded hardware and a Windows license.
If you require something
now,
choose what fits your current needs. If purchasing a laptop is an option, I won't hinder you from doing so. Should you wish to return to the desktop later, you already have everything necessary to restore it to working condition.
