What To Do?

I have two laptops. One I burned up and even when I try to ‘reload’ it once it started working again… never works quite right. And another that I use on occasion in the kitchen area. I would move it more but the battery doesn’t last 1 minute. It must be plugged in to work. I have considered getting another battery… but that costs almost as much as some refurbished laptops. The question should be… do I really need another machine in my household? Yaa… the answer would be NO. But the temptation some days are overwhelming. Ahhh… I do love my pcs…
