Question from Brenda G.: I have a two and a half year old Dell Latitude E5570 laptop that no longer works unless it’s plugged into a wall outlet.
I took it to the computer shop here in town and they said the battery is bad but they can order a replacement battery and install it for me for $160.
I really like this laptop but I don’t want to spend that much money for a battery if you don’t think it’s a wise use of the money.
My question is do you think I should have the guys at the computer shop order a battery and install it for me or would it make more sense to just apply that $160 towards a new laptop?
I really respect your opinion and I’ll take your advice regardless of which way you recommend I go.
