My computer is an 11 year old Thinkpad that's falling a part. I've replaced the keyboard on it like 10 times. The replacement keyboards keep getting worse. My last keyboard didn't even last two weeks.

Should I use my credit card and build an AM5 desktop?

You’ve need to use a credit card?
You’ve had 10 years to sort your life out you fucking loser…
Can’t you just go out and buy another shitty laptop?

it's time to upgrade to a used android tablet OP
I lived 6 months off it and regret nothing
It can do 90% of what a stinkpad does

In alternative use a raspberri pi as daily driver: chad as hell I always wanted to do that

see what happens when you can """"""repair"""""" your stuff? Nothing but pain
OP would have been better off if it broke was unrepairable and he needed to buy a new computer immediately not go through 10 keyboards

It would probably be a little net win for the internet if you just stopped using computing devices altogether, thirdie.

buy the same thinkpad, but that thinkpad must have the original keyboard, as the original ones are not garbage as the chink replacement ones

ooooor, give up using laptops and use your thinkpad as a desktop only

You (and I) are the self perceiving universe, there is nothing we would not be and subsequently, control. We just aren't aware at all times.

aside from the fact that prices for RAM have skyrocketed, after 10 years you have good ROI on that laptop and should probably get yourself something new.

if the Thinkpad has done what you need and you just want a new device to do the same a chinkshit mini-pc or a prebuilt system will probably serve you well.

>have 10 year old desktop and am in process of replacing it with something that will be quieter and overall more performant
>>
>>107498082
Yeah, this. You should be able to get a non-working ThinkPad of the same model for pretty cheap and scavenge the keyboard and maybe some other parts you may need from it.
What is it, a T430? Probably still has some life left in it.
>>
>>107496900
My laptop is a 14 year old ThinkPad with the original keyboard. What the fuck are you doing to the keyboard that you needed to replace it 10 times?
>Should I use my credit card and build an AM5 desktop?
Why do you even have a credit card?

I own and maintain a T440p I've had since 2014. I've had no issues and have no plans of retiring it.
>I've replaced the keyboard on it like 10 times. The replacement keyboards keep getting worse. My last keyboard didn't even last two weeks.
you're buying knockoff parts from trash-tier third party sellers. only buy from official channels. there are a bunch out there but you can't go wrong with the classic:
>https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/parts/search
this is ESPECIALLY true for keyboards. if you're gonna play the third party marketplace lottery, don't do it with keyboards. it's definitely gonna be more expensive but that's the cost you gotta pay for actually decent parts.
>>
>>107496900
buy a USB keyboard and mouse?
>>
>>107496900
Should have gotten an IdeaPad you retarded faggot. My shit's still good from 2011.
>>
>>107496900
>11 year old Thinkpad
Sounds about right, they were already pieces of shit by then. I don't know why /tpg/ bothers discussing anything post-xx30+T440p (one of the good ones).
>I've replaced the keyboard on it like 10 times
Hyperbole, b8, or just the fault of plain retardation?
>>107497979
In that case, you can just walk into any store or office and take what's rightfully yours.

>android tablet
An ARM tablet can never be a proper replacement for an x86 machine
>>
>>107496900
Does it have to be a laptop? Why can't you just buy a cheap used optiplex or something? Seems like you failed for the /g/ meme of using old thinkpads. Those things are just too old and a lot of them have shitty screens.
>>
>>107496900
Just get a bluetooth keyboard. I assume that you have already flashed schizoboot on your Thinkpad and replace the wlan card with the one that supports bluetooth.
>>

pic related is how your laptop looks at you

Too old.
