WOA I need to buy one of these! A Completely modular, repairable laptop. Not just with external modules for the ports but designed to be easy to open it up and change any of the internal components as well.

@freemo been watching this for a while. I hope they do an and version!

@Locksmith I would much prefer an AMD version as well. But I have come to not expect AMD in laptops sadly.

@icedquinn

They exist, I have my older one I no longer use that is AMD as well.. but they are a rarity. I also have higher priorities.. a super high resolution (well above 1080) and large screen size are top priorities to me and that really limits my options if i want AMD.

@Locksmith

@icedquinn @freemo sounds like you want a desktop tbh, or at least a monitor to go along with a laptop

@Locksmith

Can't use a desktop when im in a cafe. I already have a very powerful desktop. A laptop is supplementary to that and to ensure i can still code on the go.

@icedquinn

@freemo @Locksmith

i have a feeling this is all about wants more than needs. in which case feel free to massively overpay for silicon so you can carry a 20lb brick to a cafe.

i've been there and it's not fun to carry that brick around in a heavy backpack during a forced march down the street for 4+ hours a day.

@icedquinn

Strictly speaking I could also write my code on a notebook and debug on paper..

I'd say features that significantly decrease the time I spend waiting is something that pays for itself. so even if it is a want, its effectively paying me to get it in the end.

@Locksmith

@freemo @Locksmith have fun. maybe you'll enjoy carrying bricks more than i did :comfythumbsup:

im gonna :blobcatsnapped:

@icedquinn

They dont tend to be too heavy thankfully. It has served me well so far

@Locksmith

@freemo @icedquinn @Locksmith
I think modern high end laptops with big screen are around 1.5Kg which isn't much of a weight. A typical brick found on most construction sites weighs 2.3 kg so we cansafely say it is less then a brick to carry a big screen laptop.
Though ofcourse if your criteria for laptop mobility inspects it's ability to perfectly fit in the pocket of your pants then this is a very bad deal. :ablobderpyhappy:
