That’s how I was with my first Laptop lol. I had a cheapy Acer Aspire with 6 GB of RAM and a Duo Core i3. It lasted me from 2018-2022, when I replaced it with my Steak Deck. That thing suffered through so many games it reasonably should not have.

It ended up in a similar situation as yours with my pet rat, who while I was letting her roam as I cleaned her cage, dragged her Water Bowl over and dumped it on the thing. It survived, but had to be hooked up with an external keyboard and mouse for the rest of it’s life
