"Would be a good idea to get her laptop as well as have problems with
the keyboard still."
OK, so let's look at this for a moment...
First, technically that's "*it* would be a good idea..."
More seriously, I believe you meant "...get her laptop as well, as *I*
have problems with..." This minor alteration takes the sentence from the
relm of "WTF?" to "this at least makes sense". :-P
That is all.

No, the word 'it' in the written language is the worst word in the world.
The worst word in the world explains very little and is non-descriptive.
That terrible word leaves the reader asking; "What is 'it' that the author
describes?"
