I know that feeling. The old laptop I used before I built my current PC had notoriously bad build quality. The battery corrupted quickly, one of the hinges for opening it was partially broken (though you could probably blame this one on me), a row of keys stopped working, etc. After the battery failed a few months after having it I had to keep the charger on it at all times, so eventually I ended up getting a wired keyboard and plugged the laptop into a monitor turning it into a kinda makeshift desktop.
