[QUOTE="Pop D., post: 75926042, member: 430568"] You could probably extend the life of your current laptop for several years. Dell laptops tend to be very user fixable, you should even be able to download their service manual for your model online. The most likely part to fail is the HDD, so be sure to keep everything backed up to an external drive if you aren't already. When the internal drive dies (or you need more storage space) you can search through 2.5" HDDs or even SSDs on PC Part Picker for a replacement. A very cheap, simple way to extend a laptop's life is to get a cooling pad to set it on. Might also want to consider installing a lightweight Linux operating system which would be far less taxing on your hardware. [/QUOTE]
