> pretty sure bet that now you won't need to upgrade for a good few years. Or you could get a framework and you could actually upgrade parts that are worth upgrading - instead of upgrade as in buying a new one

I bought a framework back in 2020 or so and really wish I just waited a little longer and spent a few hundred bucks more on the M1. It's fine, but the issue is linux sleep/hibernate - battery drain. To use the laptop after a few days, I have to plug it in and wait for it to charge a little bit because the battery dies. I have to shut it down (not just close the screen) before flying or my backpack becomes a heater and the laptop dies. To use a macbook that's been closed for months I just open it and it works. I'll pay double for that experience. If I want a computer that needs to be plugged in to work I have a desktop for that already. The battery life is not good either. Maybe it's better now if I take the time to research what to upgrade, but I don't have the time to tinker with hardware/linux config like I did a few years ago.

I think "months" or even weeks is pushing it anyways, though a good proper suspend would be much appreciated. Personally I use my laptop every other day so don't really have the same battery issue there

I don't mind spending a thousand bucks every 7 years to upgrade my laptop. I've had this macbook air since 2020 and besides the speakers don't being the best... I have no complaints. I don't really see a world where this machine doesn't last me a few more years. If there's anything i'd service would be the battery, but eh. It lasts more than a few hours and I don't go out much.

  Even the "few thousand" for a bit of extra RAM and SSD are highway robbery. Anyways to each their own, I also had things break and repairability isn't really a thing with Apple hardware (while it easily could be if they wanted - even if difficult and by certified technicians instead of myself)
