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.

Extremely cheap for performance and build quality via ex corporate market. Strong linux support and l largely unchanged form factor means parts are also cheap and widely available. Even stuff like trackpad assemblies can often be swapped between styles.

Performance is adequate for normal enthusiast computing. Excessive for common videos + internet but cheap enough to justify.

They're good /shrug but they're just a thing. Do what makes you makes you happy, you don't have to impress anyone it's just a grid of lights that make you sad in a distracting way.
