Every laptop I’ve ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I’ve ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It’s not just me being bad at computer or something?

    I have an almost 4 year old nitro 5 and it’s holding up okay. It’s underpowered for new AAA games, but it does what I need the most. The chassis is a mix of metal and plastic, seems to be holding up for now. It’s been a decent buy I guess, it was the cheapest that had a decent graphics card
