Every three years like clockwork I have to replace a laptop because they fall apart. This year my Asus decided to uninstall its touchpad drivers - this after two blue screens. Frankly the touchpad sucks anyway, I won’t miss it

Can someone recommend me a laptop I won’t have to replace? All I use is chrome and Word, and the only games I play on my laptop are from the 90s so it doesn’t need to be a gaming rig

    You don’t need a fancy laptop at all. Get Linux, it has windows app support and LibreOffice, a very good Office alternative has word, powerpoint, excel, etc. You don’t need to worry about drivers, they install themselves and din get uninstalled. Touchpad drivers aren’t an issue, most drivers are built-in anyway and work very well. For someone that doesn’t want to mess around too much with configs, Zorin OS works wonders, to get Windows App support you run the app from the start menu and it installs all you need. If your laptop of choice has over 6GB and a quad core or better CPU at 2GHz or more choose Zorin. If it has less than any of these, get Zorin Lite, it’s the same mostly but runs faster.
