At least the battery pack still looked okay and not all swollen up. It seems those little boxes are timed or scheduled to go bad, I've had that problem on a few laptops over the years, but it was always time for a new one when it happened. now that games are no longer the driving force in computer hardware keeping up with software, it has no longer really become important to upgrade so often.

I was fairly happy with how inside looked, there wasn't really too much dust considering 3 years of constant use.

Feels like a new laptop today, I'm pretty chuffed :)

About 10 years ago when I retired was pretty much the end of my keeping up my computer upgrading, I used to buy a new one every 2 years, now I am working still on a widows 7 computer that is approaching 7 years old. It has a worn out fan, has done the over heating shut down on me a couple of times, and when I cleaned it I should have taken pictures, it was coated everywhere. I still haven't gotten any new fans.

Our local computer guy is a covid case study, store is open but you can not go in and browse and find what you want, he will get it bring it to the door, so you need to know what it is you want. I don't expect he will be in a profitable situation at the end of the year.

Does Amazon deliver out there? You should really get a copy of windows 10 as I think win 7 is unsupported now and could be more prone to malware/viruses. I think they do copies with legit keys quite cheap, 5 pounds when i looked last.

It's a shame for these smaller operations, I felt the guys at the shop i was going to visit ran an honest ship and were very helpful.
