What's the point of having a popping cpu/gpu, screen and 12 gb of ram if it's fucking off :guaido-despair:
PLEASE do what the Chinese phones does and shove batteries down my throat

    My laptop has a built-in battery that requires partial disassembly of the laptop to replace. Mine completely gave out, losing power after about 10 seconds after unplugging it. I ordered a new battery and when I took the laptop apart to replace it, I saw that the old battery was bulging. It could have caught fire if I had kept using it.

      That's unfortunately a side-effect of Li-Ion batteries that's just part of the whole chemistry of the battery. It's literally a case of cramming way too much energy in a way too small space, and the end result is a (comparatively) unstable battery, that will blow out with even the most minor physical damage (that can occur even with just normal discharging/charging if anything goes wrong).
