I currently have a G53JW which can run a lot of recent games on High settings.How long do you think gaming laptops can be future-proof for??I'm just a little curious

I was unlucky enough to have a G53JW-3DE which went out of warranty. Its power pin broke off, and I had to solder a 2.5mm one after a very tedious process....Is there a way to prevent this from happening again? Should I just get a 90-degree converter...
