    It varies between manufacturers but for the PalmRest and Bottom covers for a Dell laptop you are talking around £80 plus fitting.
    Might be worthwhile checking how much they would cost for your Laptop so you don't have to keep worrying if its going to break off completely ?

      Just reading in our magazine that W10 market share has gone down 5% the other month, But W7 has gone UP by about 3.6% much to the surprise of many in the trade.
      Seems these exW10 users have gone backwards with W7, probably becuase its been shown over the last few years, that W7 is still a 'secure' system (?).

      Also used to use Trustueer Rapport for online banking etc but it seemed to cause more problems than it cured, plus hard to establish how effective it is for the home user.
      Still plenty of good alternatives around, free or paid for.

        Well my Windows 10 did its first post-apocalypse update last night. All good so far.

          Probably a lot of money @ricky101. I have a 17 inch Hewlett Packard laptop. I'll do what I did with my last one and tape it together with Duck/Gorilla tape. :) That was an HP as well and the keyboard was parting company on that. I won't have another one and will probably go to an Asus next time.
