I understand that this is first-world related product. Just want to say that there many countries where talented electrical engineers can’t earn that much money. And laptops are not any cheaper. Repairs are very cost-efficient. Imagine earning $5/hour. Fixing $2000 laptop is worth 50 days of work.
- jacquesm 4y agoYes, that's a very valid point and that's why I left the door open to that possibility. I've seen some videos of people in countries with very low wages whose repair and improvisation skills were off the scale. And when I got into tech in the 70's it was very much like that here too. It's quite frustrating to me that our tech has become so involved that repairs have become harder or even impossible economically causing a lot of perfectly good stuff to end up in landfills.
