Can't you do that without imposing it on everyone else? I care about consumption (I'm on my 2nd laptop since ~2003), but I don't particularly want to pay $15,0

I care about consumption (I'm on my 2nd laptop since ~2003), but I don't particularly want to pay $15,000 to replace this one with one that is worse.
- michaelmrose 6y agoThe average computer is around 700 including ones that are relatively repairable and ones that are not. Pretending that repairable laptops cost 20 times as much is disingenuous.
- maxerickson 6y ago(In the comment) They want to be able to source a drop in cpu from 2 different supply chains. And they want that for every piece and part on the thing.
- michaelmrose 6y agoThat would pretty much require standardization of cpu socket between vendors to allow one to drop a compatible generation of intel or amd processor into a slot. This sounds onerous but I doubt it would require increasing the unit cost by 20 times.
- dang 6y ago> disingenuous That implies intent to deceive, which crosses into personal attack. Can you please not do that on HN? If you feel that someone else is wrong, it's enough to provide correct information in a neutral way. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- dang 6y agoSure, that's a much better word to use. It's about what someone is arguing, rather than who or why.
