enjoy your shitty plastic garbage and overpriced AMD PSP spyware

>AMD PSP spyware
Huh?

>>9082
You buy one as a normie, it's horrendously overpriced, but if you exclude all optional parts and buy your own (75%+ markup, it's retarded not to) and put it together yourself, it's actually almost competitive

>>he has to replace the entire motherboard for a simple CPU swap
Aren't almost all laptop CPU's soldered to the board nowadays given mobile processors are getting smaller and smaller? Also motherboards themselves have shrunken a lot to the point where it doesn't matter much and you still get to use all the daughter boards since everything is cross compatible.

Get a refurbished laptop or just build a small Cooler master PC then, also how else are they supposed to compete with giants like Dell, HP, and Apple? Just be thankful we've got a company that actually supports right to repair and isn't anti consumer and anti ownership like all the others who are basically pro WEF at this point.

Also you save money in the future if a part ever fails for whatever reason since you can just replace it rather than throw the whole thing out. Meanwhile other manufacturers are soldering basic parts like the RAM and SDD's to the motherboard and then gluing the things such.

I'm considering it

just get thinkpad

>nowdays
modern hardware problems
>muh daughter boards
>j-just get a refurbished laptop or something
are you a nigger and can't refurbish something by yourself?
>we got a company that actually supports a hecking right to repair
you mean by shoving proprietary firmware up our asses, scamming us, and selling us soldered overpriced chinesium garbage for 4000$ per piece, which is even more overpriced than crapple?
>pro WEF
every big tech company is the antichrist, and there is nothing you can do about it
>if a part fails
then you buy a second broken 20$ thinkpad on ebay to harvest parts from, and keep the rest around for more spare parts
i don't see the problem
oh wait, a single fucking battery costs like 200$ or so, let alone any actual circuitry replacements...
>ackchyualley just resolder 20 times or something like that, just re-bake the entire board because of insane thermal masses
>>9235
was about to say this, why the fuck would you willingly pay 4000$ for an overpriced proprietary hunk of cloned iShit that isn't even free, spyware free, or malware free?
its just the average 'open sores' garbage
a thinkpad will outlive you, my thinkpad is as old as myself.
