You completely missed the point, which laptops, phones or tablets can you still buy at a regular consumer shop, that are still as configurable as old time PCs? Have you tried to build a laptop or a tablet yourself as we used to build PCs during the 1990s? Yes we know about System 76, and similar attempts, sadly they aren't something I can find on MediaMarket, Vobis, FNAC, Saturn, Cool Blue, Carrefour,... | ||

Oh sure, computers are more integrated now. But you said vertically integrated which I was addressing. Really though, when the CPU has everything you need, other than ram and storage, why do you need to have a box you can mess with? I still build my own computers, but computers at home are becoming endangered. One of my siblings simply doesn't have one, and the other only has a work computer. Many of my child's friends don't have a computer at home, unless it's a school chromebook or their parents work in tech. | ||
