Tldr: he wants a non-upgradeable laptop that is maxed out from day one. I’d want a bit more upgrade path than he does, but he has some interesting thoughts.

      Buying a laptop every other year is fucking wasteful. I don’t get why those people think it’s a good idea to ruin the planet for marginal gains.

        It’s not like the old device is actually getting thrown in the trash. It becomes a used device for someone on the second hand market. For every rich person buying a laptop every year are a few a less rich people buying an older high end machine every 4-5.

        I buy a maxed out laptop every 8 years. My 2008 laptop just lost its battery this year, but still works when plugged in.
