When Computer Repair Is the Better Option
Repairing a computer is usually worthwhile if:
The device is less than 5 years old
The issue is specific (battery, charging port, screen, software)
Performance is still suitable for daily tasks
Replacement would cost significantly more
Common repairs like battery replacements, software fixes, or component upgrades can extend the life of a computer without the cost of buying new.

When Headphone Repair Makes Sense
Headphones often fail due to:
Loose or broken cables
Audio cutting out on one side
Charging issues on wireless models
Minor internal faults
If the sound quality was good before the fault, headphone repair is often faster and cheaper than replacing them — especially for premium or well-built models.
