Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels Apple’s quality is degrading. I spend 10 hours a day on my laptop and would spend any amount of money within reason for a better one. However, everything comes with tradeoffs.

Tldr: he wants a non-upgradeable laptop that is maxed out from day one. I’d want a bit more upgrade path than he does, but he has some interesting thoughts.

    I don’t care one bit about upgradability or customizability. After a year or two, I’m happy to throw it out and buy a new one. It’s not like upgradability is a bad thing, but it usually comes with tradeoffs to weight and power draw, and I’d rather it all be in one solid package glued together. And I don’t like customizability because I like when all the testing and polish work is put into one configuration.

    Yeah, he lost me in this paragraph.
