Like using it for 8+ hours a day and rarely turning it off without it dying in a year or so lol. Laptop is from 2022 with an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor ^^

    2012 screen with VGA adapter, both keyboard and mouse were perhaps 20 dollars(100 Romanian lei) and laptop is Asus Vivobook with 1135g7 and 8 GB ddr4

    I usually keep it plugged when I’m using it, especially cuz I can use it only on a table since the hinges make the screen go black if I don’t :))))

        Well, kinda , cuz a laptop is mostly enough to write and save plenty of office docs and if you stretch a bit the budget you could get a nice 16/32 GB ram version, enough for programming or music production

    Yes it will work as a desktop pc just fine. But pick up a laptop cooling fan. It will elevate the laptop to ergonomic eye-level as well as provide underside ventilation. Something like this.

    If you use it as a desktop, it’ll work as a desktop. Being plugged in indefinitely will use up your charge cycles real fast, so say goodbye to battery life. As a desktop it’ll work just fine.
