It’s true. My previous laptop was getting up there in age but it still had probably a year or two left of casual use after I replaced the battery. Thankfully my father found a use for it with one of his projects. Now I’m eyeing Framework’s new Ryzen mainboards and thinking of upgrading despite just buying this laptop last year. Yeah I can use my old mainboard as a home server, but I’ve been doing just fine without one.
If I do decide to upgrade, I don’t know how I’ll justify my subsequent upgrade until things stop working.
