From what I gather it might be the best way for me going forward to have a new PC. I see them as low as $150 on amazon that come with windows so I’d have to nuke the SSD and install something like Mint on it instead.

Maybe we can get a fundraiser going for me so I can finally get a new laptop and put this 12 year old piece of junk to bed.

Allows you to use mouse input without moving your hands away from the keyboard. It’s great for when you need to do small mouse movements in between typing like clicking on cells in a spreadsheet or clicking reply on comments.
