Awesome man thanks! At this point though, I’m wondering if I should just replace the motherboard in the dell? I’ve seen a few of these USB c reinforcement brackets too, but not a whole lot of info out there. Then that way all I would need is a docking station and I’ll never have to really rely on the two laptop ports and adapters and dongles, etc. And they should hypothetically remain safe, but idk. What do you think?

Very good to know. Are there certain models I should be looking at? Are some deemed “better” than others?

Hmm I’m wondering if it would just be worth going ahead and replacing the motherboard instead of starting over… I have seen a few USB c reinforcement brackets… Can’t find much info about them though. I bought some of those port Klingon things, if you’re familiar, but of course my laptap is too slim for those to fit lol smh

Hmmm I’m pretty attached to laptops, but I’m sure there’s some portable display options that I could set right on my coffee table or even use my smart TV as a display…

Right, I was sorta under the impression macbooks were not meant to be taken apart hence no upgrades available, but I could be wayyy off there

Dude no not at all, I honestly never thought of getting an old macbook. That could be a great idea. Are there generations or models that are better or worse than others? Like I wouldn’t know where to start, but I suppose something with good documentation and preferably a following or community would be best.

Ya see, I have no clue which models to be looking for. Surely some are better than others or more sought out than others, so I don’t really even know which is which. Perhaps you do? Or did you just pick a random model that fit the specs you wanted?

Lol you’ve got a good idea there

Gotcha, that might just work because as mentioned, I’ve already been looking at wireless keyboards with touchpad for my smart TV and such, so then the only solution left would be a monitor. Its gotta be simple enough where I can easily move it to wherever I wanna go

Indeed!!!
