Yeah, how dare they design laptops not filled to the brim with unnecessary components? Those 'faulty' memory parts were often 'fixed' by reseating them, a problem soldered-on memory doesn't have. Broken fans were probably the cheapest obtainable. Those things just don't break so often anymore. I prefer welded shut quality stuff over a never ending chain of repairs. I like Apple for batteries that last longer than 12 months, screens with high resolution and reference color, lightweight housing that's not too flimsy. (just don't talk about the keyboards from 2016-2018 ;) )
