Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels Apple’s quality is degrading. I spend 10 hours a day on my laptop and would spend any amount of money within reason for a better one. However, everything comes with tradeoffs.

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.

    Sounds absolutely stupid… and yet my (gaming) desktop (model CORSAIR ONE i180) remains untouched after nearly 6 years. I still play indies to AAA to VR with it. I still work with it, specifically VR prototyping, so dev.

    If I were to give it away or use as a self-hosted server with GPU used on e.g Immich or video transcoding it would still do pretty well.

    So…IMHO it’s not a bad take but damn I remembered I paid a LOT of money back then. As other pointed out if you can afford it, sure. If you are not a professional then probably not.
