Most repairs only buy you a few more months before the next failure. You're essentially throwing money away.
Most repair options leave you worse off than when you started. Here's why repair-first thinking is flawed.
"Fixing your 3-year-old laptop today might mean getting it back with a slower processor, reduced battery, or used components — all for hundreds of dollars."
Instead of losing money on repairs, get the full value back and upgrade to something better. It's that simple.
