Broke my laptop AND my tablet inside a week

I'm such a tech disaster, broke my laptop today, 2nd one this year and couple of days ago, my tablet died on me and wont turn on to turn off again.
Laptop started making a weird grinding noise and saw sparks coming out of it.
Now Ive lost all my pics of sophies tits, kates sexy avatar that makes me go cross eyed and bradarmpitts dong picture that he signed and sent me, bless him.
Even Claudias infamous fanny pic is gone and that was helping to get me through the dark drawing in nights

But seriously, I cant keep spending cash on this stuff, so what to get?
pad or laptop? budget is very small as I intend to start visiting some ladies again very very soon

help!!!!!!!!!

I survive perfectly well on a basic smartphone.

I'm guessing keyboards will eventually be redundant technology.

i assume you got a 1 years guarantee ? IF not , you're not doing it right.

i remember getting sparks out of my 1st ever laptop and i chucked it out of the window, it was years old though , had its day.

Hopefully the window was open or things would have been incompatible.

I guessing a lot more touchscreen devices will push out the keywords and eventually voice interactive computers but I am more a sci- fi rather than a scientific thinker.

The truth

No wank material is bad Makes more visits happen

From grinding noise sounds like hard drive blew , as its nearly the only moving part to make such a sound ,

You can google make and model find out what type of hard drive ide or sata , both will be 2.5 inch

Look on adverts for second hand one depending on size you may get one from 20 euro up ,

YouTube time and patience will show you how to remove and install new one

A lot cheaper than new PCs ,

Although I'm concerned about sparks I've worked with computers for years never heard of sparks come from PC

Best of luck ,

If you do go the route of looking for a PCs send me a pm I'll point you in right direction

Sparks out of a computer can be rare, but one possibility is a failure of the power supply.

This reduces the mains voltage to the much smaller voltages used inside the computer. A rare catastrophic failure of the power supply transformer can cook the entire machine leaving little salvageable and can cause a fire.

You can get hard drive caddies that a hard drive can be placed in and used as an external hard drive through a USB.
If the hard drive is not buggered,and it was placed in one of these, it may be possible to retrieve your files.
But I don't like the talk about grinding noises. As "The truth" says, that sounds like a hard drive failure.
