I was suggesting that most people can live with an external monitor on a laptop until they replace it. I build and repair computers for fun. If a laptop is more than 3 years old, the battery along with other parts of the hardware will be too expensive to replace to justify the cost of repairs. Desktops are much easier to repair and upgrade. Backup your data to an external hard drive REGULARLY, and move on to a new computer unless you enjoy working on computers.
