Using here an X220. I replaced the HDD by an SDD and extended the RAM - it is still working. Currently I'm looking for a new small "44" battery (which fits completely into the body) but the replacement I received has a malfunction. I've still a 44+ which provides a longer runtime but also weights more. Plus the excellent hardware-maintenance manual! Of course always running with Linux. The new models are more sturdy (good) and provide a lot more CPU and GPU-Power (AMD) but the RAM is soldered and the battery not swap-able. We need laws which enforce sustainable devices wich swap-able disks, main-memory, batteries and long time spare part supply including maintenance manuals. It shall be EXPENSIVE and UNATTRACTIVE for both vendors and buyers to purchase devices which doesn't offer this. How? Put well understandable "traffic lights" on every device by category {software replaceable, spare parts, maintenance manual, batteries}. Every single red light needs to increase the price by 30%[1]. I don't call for prohibition! Sometimes somebody need something extra flat and soldered and whatever reason - but even how uninformed you are - you must be aware of it how you harm yourself and anyone else. Apple MacBook: Software not replaceable + 30% Batteries glued and not purchasable from third parties + 30% Maintenance manual not published + 30% This adds 90% extra tax upon price. Lenovo ThinkPad: Batteries screwed or glued, even require buying a "guarantee" for replacement service + 30% Main-Memory soldered + 30 This adds 60% extra tax upon price Smartwatch which is glued? Guess what! And I'm not saying adding another 30% extra for the not replaceable software because it allow it to be an embedded appliance. In case of Smartphones this will be another 30%. I hope both customers and vendors will change their behavior quickly. If not we have a lot money to spend for health, schools and social support. What I don't want and not require is that you use your laptop for ten years. That unfair and not necessary but something possible and even normal. And if you're a developer or gamer, sell the old one and buy a new one. As long the devices can be used a long time it is good.
