My laptop was purchased in January 2015. I use it every day for work and leisure. It is, to put it lightly, completely busted at this point. Cracked screen, keyboard keys no longer work on many of them (I bought an $8 keyboard off Amazon which I use instead), and the hinge is coming off on one side... and there is a slight burning smell (I think?) coming from it.
I have the money for a new laptop, but the frugal part of me just thinks, keep using it til it's completely dead. Have I gone too far? Should I just buy a new one already? A lot of people keep hassling me to buy a new laptop. Even my six year old nephew said "When you are going to get a new laptop?"
It's just that there are so many other things I'd rather spend money on. And a part of me feels guilty for not continuing to use it. Other than these things, it works fine! What should I do? And do you have any recommendations for a laptop? This is an HP Envy, which I will never purchase again for obvious reasons.
