From 2012!

>I fix/upgrade my own shit and never throw away anything.
Start buying grenades.

>there isn't a reason they should.
Warranty is a reason.

no, not really. you just get a new board and throw it in. if anything it makes warranty repair like 1000x easier as there is less guesswork on what part is causing the customer's issue.

Yeah I really want to be carrying this around.

>waaaah I can't have the best of both worlds

Consumerist culture. Tech illiteracy is also climbing and probably at a all-time high thanks to ever-growing abstraction in all forms - "What's a computer?".

What?

you're criticizing a workstation laptop for not being extremely thin, which makes no sense
>large cooling system suited for high-end components
>lots of IO with many common interfaces
>modular design where space is dedicated to making parts easy to access, as well as extra hardware and space dedicated to additional connectors, panels, and hardware
>still portable enough to be moved between offices, or to be used in meeting rooms or on business trips

Maybe in performance but what is the battery life like?

I miss that keyboard layout but from what I understand you can't go back if you mod it on later models and some shortcuts aren't working.

>you're criticizing a workstation laptop for not being extremely thin
Literally where? I implied that it was too heavy and bulky, no where did I say it should be extremely thin.
Also, newer Thinkpad workstations are significantly thinner while still retaining the benefits of a powerful laptop. Why the fuck would you want something thick deliberately?

30 year old cannot be a boomer, you're a fucking millennial.

>being this new

Why are you implying that products that do well in the free market must be good products?
Appealing to the free market is appealing to the lowest common denominator. The winning product in the free market must therefore be for the plebs. By consequence, patrician hardware is not a victor in the free market.

>I'm willing to pay more and not give a fuck about how they do it. The problem is my options are more limited with every year. This ain't free market. These fags decide what I can buy.

more just going along with this. I really don't care about muh free market or the idea of having spare parts for things that get deprecated so fast it doesn't matter.

even I don't know much about Jow Forums memes after many years, still get this obvious one, but you baiting, post post baitingism

Work out those spaghetti arms, faggot

Found the soiboi. A few pounds is not heavy.

Do you carry it with your dick?

The fuck guys? I'm a big guy. My laptop can weight 5 kg. That's not a real problem.

This is the real threat IoT. Soon repairable shit for noncommercial stuff like water heaters etc we will be plagued with the no spare parts bs of current tech.

You aren't me, faggot.

Too much söyboys in this thread

Why are you mad with what is a computer? If it has a chip an was programmed it is a computer

30 year olds are millennials, not boomers. As a fellow 30 year I have to wonder how much of an idiot you have to be to not realize this is always how consumer electronics have worked. It's always been the hobbiests that fix shit themselves and not normies.

because

Typically a laptop is carried in a bag. Something you would know if you weren't just a desktop user trolling or one of these weeb fucks who only uses laptops but never leaves the house

Non 30 year old boomer here you are a fag sir, this no. Repairable shit started cause cheap chink shit in the 90's and apple hype to make everything thin bringing us Macbook air.

>It's always been the hobbiests that fix shit themselves and not normies.
Nope, I'm a Slav. We white people have always fixed our shit to save materials and money. Greenpeace should bomb Apple, Samsung etc for selling shit that must go into trash after 3 years max. I still have a commie fridge and it's still going.

>they now have PCs where you can't change anything

Carrying a laptop in a messenger bag is söy-level stupidity. Off yourself already.

zoomers are retards thats why

Because they don't know that you can do that. Also, this:
Encouraging more abstraction is great for ripping people off, basically

>Typically a laptop is carried in a bag.
The reason people put laptops in bags is to make them easier to carry. So the same question still applies. Do you carry the bag with your dick?

what do you mean by 'technical abstraction' exactly?

I carry them in my 65L backpack.
You put a laptop in a bag to place it in a car trunk and move from office A to office B.

if the battery is good enough you can just deactivate the dedicated gpu and underclock + undervolt a bit the cpu

FPBP

Or fuck it and buy a 9-cell.
I assume 5h on most demanding hardware config with load. Buy a slice battery if you live in a forest.

Do you carry the bag with your dick?

What's up with the dicks in this thread? If you want dick, go talk to your dad.

Not reading anything. Stupid thread.

western average iq is dropping and this is not because of the migrants

whatever, zoomer

but why

WTF u mean? Razer just made their current line with replaceable everything. + Replacing any battery is easy you boomer.

>social networks
time sink and brain damaging content everywhere
>lazyness
No incentive to learn, school is piss easy for anyone with 2 neurons and doesn't actually challenge your brain like its supposed to.
tech makes it easy to do nothing all day long and you can make money easily even with 3 iq.
>post modernism
people are too bored with their life, they need to invent new problems.
It's the "community" culture with all it brings like segregation, racism, one-track thinking and harassment.

People have become more stupid due to socialism.

dead culture plus mindlessly expanding technical civilization = a social catastrophe

>Replacing any battery is easy
Especially when it's glued and soldered to the case/mobo.

Golly gee, right liberalism is already labelled socialism. What's the next big revelation, nazis were socialists? Really makes you think where are the guys who currently run the world, to the right of Hitler?

Comfort and complacency.

We have met the normies, and they are us

Soldered RAM is because the sodimm form factor is awful and giant. You would either need to make your laptop thicker so it can go over components or massively reduce the battery size. Batteries are still easily replaceable in most things with a few screws. It's really only macbooks that glue them in.

Because I own more than one device and don't care that I can't upgrade the used 90$ x1 carbon I bought past 8 GB of ram.

>no numpad
>srs business coding laptop XD

Modding the xx20 keyboard into an xx30 laptop now has everything working except.for.fn+f5 I believe, which was pretty useless anyway.
Also, I'm pretty sure.you can go back easily by reflashing the old firmware, don't take my word for it though.
the details are on thinkwiki

Six fucking pounds is your limit? I'm sorry sir, but you have far greater issues than the size of your laptop.

Just because I can do something doesn't mean I want to, retard.

economies of scale. electronics are not inherently cheap, only cheap because we can produce 1 gorillion units at a time and have demand for it and the tooling for components doesn't last forever, only good for a set amount of production.
