The tragedy of laptops

That is the tragedy of laptops. When you're using a desktop, your old keyboard from the middle 1990s with a USB 1.0 connector can be plugged directly or with a simple passive adapter to any modern computer, and even older keyboards with a PS/2 connector can be plugged with an active adapter (or in some cases directly, some new computers still have a PS/2 socket). Your old screen from the early 2000s with a DVI-D connector can be plugged with a passive adapter to many modern computers (and with an active adapter to nearly all modern computers), and even older screens with a VGA or DVI-A connector can be plugged with an active adapter (or in some cases directly, some new computers still have a VGA socket).

Laptops, on the other hand, have not only electrical incompatibility, but also mechanical incompatibility. Even parts from the same laptop line but last year's model will not be compatible with today's models, with very few exceptions (Framework being a notable one).
