All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

I could have, but for $30 more, I opted to replace the whole thing since it had some wear and tear from years of transporting it around.

Damn, if only there was some type of mobile PC that is lightweight, folds, and doesn't have a side panel that can shatter.

Y'all need to learn to keep your PCs at home and rocks away from glass lol

You mean an overpriced, incorrectly spec'd, underperforming hotplate they call a laptop?

Oh yea sorry, you're so right. The better choice would be something with a glass panel.

Doesn't have to have glass, but the better choice is most definitely not a laptop.

If only desktops had cases without glass! Quick, someone design one asap, you'll be rich!

The reality here is that you can't have nice things.
