I like how she is using her bellytop computer :) Looks like something from 486 - Pentium era... good times when computers was made very robust, serviceable and everything worked offline.

Ugh, can't even fix a dead key or a grinding fan anymore. (This being sent to the best computer shop in town I know of.)

Yeah, i know this very well. Problem is even buy replacement parts, computer shop maybe is not able help even if they want. Very often is only source AliExpress etc... if you are even able identify which part exactly is compatible. Even worse, on market are computers which are imposible open without destruction (because glue or something similarly stupid), computers with permanently soldered storage (Apple) or RAM (most new computers). Keyboard is not replaceable, because it is part of top cover (palm rest)... and if you want buy palm rest with keyboard, then you are not able buy localized version...

Let's ask Mark about his experience :) I am sure, he is able help even with Pia's computer from parallel world :)
