So the plastic chassis of any budget laptop is intentionally designed to disintegrate after about two years of normal use, right? (hexbear.net)

Every laptop I've ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I've ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It's not just me being bad at computer or something?

that's so disappointing good thing I could never afford one

better to go with a popular thinkpad I guess ; at least there'll always be 3rd party and community support

until communists are in control and we can have goddamned standardized devices and parts.

I can see communists choosing a Thinkpad model as the standardized laptop base.
