My laptop got damaged on a vacation trip at the airport when our hand luggage had to travel in the cargo part of the plane. it's still working after more than five years, but the screen gave out in the meantime.
We didn't want to buy a new laptop as our travelling times are over and so we purchased a tv monitor and it works very well and I like it because the screen is larger than the one on the laptop.
Nice photo! Our grandson helped us do something similar. The desktop is dying, but my husband does not like the touchpad on my laptop. So Brandon helped me hook my laptop up to a monitor, and now we are both happy.
