My laptop broke...cannot charge anymore and I cannot fix it.
Long story short I spent so many hours trying to fix it, and I decided it is cheaper and better to buy a used and cheap Thinkpad...
I have made a Gofundme in case anyone can help out gofund.me/b8bc330a
I have to run a lot of projects and this laptop is really important for me. Without it I am fucked.
Planned Obsolescence, this is what is happening with so many products. Not meant to last or be repaired...really awful....
But I have no choice need to urgently get another laptop...

Laptop + gift ideas:
If you or anyone needs to a new laptop or some expensive parts for old, let me know the pages and we will get it shipped to you.
Also for others in future I think we need to solve distant #donations and #gift (i.e.)
1- Buying online [new or old] to pay people / donate back
2- Gift card to a local a store near to them (e.g. I'll buy and send you the code)
What do you think ? Even in theory. It's a constant problem which above seems to solve.
