@aZa1905 @aral Close but not quite.

Now granted, @frameworkcomputer is the closest to it if you want to get something you can buy right now.

Personally I just want to find something that is more flexible and repairable, using standard parts wherever possible and having basic features like toolfree-swappable batteries...

Because I won't buy any device without that feature...

@kkarhan @aral @frameworkcomputer i don't think you will See something in that direction in the next 20-30 years.

Because why? Companies make more money with selling you the repair than they male with the Laptops probably.

Either you have to pay A LOT of money (like with framework IMO, or it just isnt useful to the greedy companies.

I would be very happy to be wrong though.

@aZa1905 @aral @frameworkcomputer that is iterally the problem:

There is neither incentive nor penatly for being [un-]sustainable..

That's why Apple is selling their devices with #ReducedLifecycle by design with soldered-down #RAM, #SSDs and #Batteries, and both of the latter WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!!!
