Is it better to invest in your old laptop and get it repaired or should you use the opportunity to upgrade the technology?

If you’re contemplating getting your laptop repaired, then our expert has some tips for you

I bought my laptop six months back and the screen has shattered but replacing it would cost `40,000. Would you recommend I repair it or buy a new one?

See, it depends on the cost of your laptop. If it’s a high-end Macbook Pro which costs ₹2 lakh, then obviously fixing the screen by paying out ₹40,000 might not be a bad idea. If the laptop in itself was not too expensive and way too old, then you can probably replace it.
