I wonder what landfill alot of these things will end up on in a few years. Be good to see more framework style stuff with a focus on long term usage.

Sure there some thinkpad stalewarts or desktop (using 500W power) that are running from decades. But these devices have puny chargers, less electricity - just works. May be less local power is OK.
