and use a wireless keyboard and mouse for typing !
As a writer you are propably not using a keyboard as HEAVY as a gamer ... but chances are high that your keyboard will wear out again as fast as before, and a wireless external keyboard is not only cheaper to replace ... it also is more HEALTHY for you because of the more ergonomic use of your laptop.
