I'm worried about my ThinkPad. It's an X1 Carbon Gen1, so it's roughly 13 years old, but I still use it every day (typing this on it now). Occasionally the screen has been showing white streaks like momentary static. It resolves itself right away, but that's new behavior and I haven't changed anything with this computer for a while. I'm concerned it might be a sign I'm about to lose the monitor, and at the age of this computer it's just not worth it to fix. But I like it!!
