A gentle reminder that you live in a world where SSDs on some laptops are not removable at all, as are batteries. And I’m leaving out minutiae like RAM.
I’m just not seeing it as possible, how would you plan the obsolescence of such devices?
- toast0 6y agoIf it's easier to take your data drive from one laptop to the next, it's no longer a end user problem when the laptop needs to be thrown away at the end of each season. Yes, it's a shame you can't charge a 10x markup on the storage the end user takes with them, but you can still charge a 10x markup on the built in storage that's non-removable and whose failure still blocks booting (necessitating replacement of the whole thing, naturally)
