Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop
geohot.github.io
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.

    What kind of stuff is he doing that anything less than top of the line isn’t acceptable, and he replaces it every 1-2 years? That’s a wild upgrade cycle, and since he’s describing a pretty awesome machine, seemingly quite wasteful. My previous daily-driver laptop got replaced 7 years in (and even then it’s still functioning, the years of “abuse” made it hard to use as a laptop, so now it sits around as one of many servers).
