I like the detail that after 2019, he couldn't afford another laptop.

Either he can't afford, or anything for sale is worse than what he already had.

I dunno what is happening faster.

I'm still rocking the same laptop since 2018.

Hell yeah. For most things (including writing like the article) that should be sufficient. The biggest worry is obviously the battery.

Only laptop I got new was a low-end Razer by winning a raffle. I have a couple other hand-me-downs too, but none of them keep a charge for longer than 5 minutes anymore.
