HMM- chrismas specials on new, more powerful laptops are available for
$400......

If you have the money and just need a good reason to spend it, this
could be an opportunity rather than a problem....  :)

on the other hand $400 is a good chunk of change to not spend if you
don't have to.  I second the "spare parts" and "broken ebay" ideas.

but dismantling the little buggers is a bit of finicky toodling.
getting that back together especially.
