@EU_Commission I generally buy a new one because it's usually several years after I bought it and newer software is making it lag like a laggy thing that lags anyway.
Desktops and laptops I repair because they've gotten over the Moore's Law hump and even a ten year old laptop is still useful. Plus they're held together by screws instead of glue. Can you do something about that glue thing? It's kind of abusive.
