[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]s I have never needed to replace an SSD or battery in the life of any laptop in the past 20 years. No one I know has had to either. [/quote] That's nice. Your needs didn't change, and you gambled and won on hardware longevity. You also probably could have saved money by buying a minimal configuration and upgrading the RAM and/or storage yourself (this makes less sense now with inflated RAM and storage prices). In any case, I think that most people who buy a $700+ device would be upset to find out that a $100 repair became a $500 repair because the manufacturer decided to solder a stick of RAM or SSD to the motherboard.[/quote] Modern hardware is pretty reliable. In order to make those parts serviceable, there is cost in terms of complexity, weight, and durability. [/quote]
