Due to unfortunate circumstances (me dropping the laptop) I have now ended up with a half broken laptop that has a broken screen and a dying battery. I could repair it, however, I don’t wanna bother as I’m very likely gonna be getting a new one soon.

The laptop itself still works fine, however the broken screen and dying battery make it pretty much useless as a laptop and I already have a home lab NAS thing, so I’m kinda out of ideas on what to do with it. Any ideas?

Here are the specs:

CPU: i5-8300h

GPU: intel HD830/GTX1050ti

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 128GB SSD

    It does work without the battery and the model is: dell G3 3579, I just didn’t think the model was that important to mention.

      95% of the time the exact model isn’t super important, nowhere near as important as specifications, but when it comes to the physical build like whether it can run without the battery, it can be useful to know.
