Screw Steve Jobs for foisting the disposable tech business model upon the world, and screw Trump for depriving us of one of the very few products that stands against that business model.
Can anyone afford their laptops anyway?
my laptop is a 16, so yes. the laptop was never a laptop if you wanted value per dollar, its about minimizing waste due to broken parts and not treating tech as a disposal hardware.
Meanwhile me with my 17 year old upgraded thinkpad that I got from a bin:
You didn’t finish that post. Were you unable to upload an image? Maybe you should get a PC upgrade.
I use a custom made CLI thingy for Lemmy lol, havent gotten around to adding in images. High end core2duo still coated doe.
I was just joking.
Yes.
They are more expensive than high volume budget laptops but inline with other premium laptops. They aren’t unaffordable for working people in developed countries.
If I have another laptop die in rural Australia there is no local repair or replacement. Usually I take a gamble and buy the cheapest shit I can find, accepting it is disposable. I paid premium for the self repair and upgrade options and I will do again.
Well, laptop16 cost 2/3 of my monthly wage here in Sweden (after tax is deducted). And my salary is a fair bit above national average. That’s way out of my budget for a laptop, unfortunately.
