Sheldon's laptop dies tragically of old age, and Amy inconsiderately buys him a new, more up to date laptop. Howard and Leonard solder things with the help of Penny and Bernadette.
Tropes:
- Compliment Backfire: Sheldon would rather look at Amy's nose hairs than her eyes because they're more interesting to count.
- Death Glare: Leonard gives a bone chilling one to Penny after she makes a joke that after all his years of work, if the girls came up with a scientific breakthrough.
- Metaphorgotten: When Sheldon thinks about throwing something away, his stomach gets filled with butterflies, which get eaten by rats, which get eaten by something bigger, all the way up to dinosaurs.
- Shout-Out: Leonard and Howard go to buy more solder, but get sidetracked by a screening of a Will Smith movie. They guess it's either Suicide Squad (2016) or Shark Tale 2.
- Trash of the Titans: Sheldon shows Amy his storage room full of things he's owned. Like, everything he's ever owned.
