I was taking it to school. I didn’t really have to worry much about this laptop. I got it for free, it wasn’t worth too much, and it was an indestructible brick.
Storage size. I needed more storage in my main laptop while 128GB was enough for this one.
Reliability. This was SSD from AliExpress (XrayDisk). Not reliable enough for a main machine. And indeed, 2 years later and it has corrupted sectors.
Ease of replacement. This old laptop only required unscrewing 1 screw to replace the HDD. Originally it would be 4, but they were missing along with HDD caddy. Meanwhile checking video on how to open my main laptop… I’d probably tear some wires, break the plastic and also destroy the rubber feet which are somehow quite expensive.
