Just updated my pinephone the other day. It's not spectacular in terms of usability. It does the bare minimum at the bare minimum.

    I'm saying that there's enough laptop providers and enough different factories to maintain supply of unlocked hardware. You don't have to worry about locked CPU/GPUs, only about locked bootloaders which have a lot of different providers. With mobiles it's easier to lock because it's all packed into SOCs and you don't have as much choice for latest hardware.
