| What about people who want their laptop to last 10 years? |

| Then you probably want something that has replaceable parts and not an apple product (e.g. framework)? Not trying to discourage you from building your thing, but just figure that's worth considering. Also, I could see why developers would want excessive logging in their betas, so that's kind of a catch-22 (without the verbose logs it might be harder to fix bugs found in the beta) |

| For Macs, treat a renewable AppleCare subscription as part of the cost. |

| You can replace your SSD without replacing your laptop. |

| ▲ | amichail 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | On some laptops, it requires a complete motherboard replacement. | | |
| ▲ | JohnFen 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Really?? I would consider such laptops not fit for purpose and wouldn't buy one in the first place. Of course, that doesn't help if that's the sort you have. Sorry. | | |
| ▲ | bot403 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It helps reduce size and weight since you can just directly place ssd chips on the motherboard instead of planning for connectors. Just depends on what your priorities are. | | |

| Well if 4 years decrease SSD life by 6%, then 10 years should decrease it by ~15% - so you have plenty of wiggling space. |

| Then you probably want enterprise level drives, motherboard, ECC RAM, etc. |
| |
| ▲ | justthehuman an hour ago | parent [-] | | I know I do! Last time I looked at Laptops that supported ECC it was a very short and very expensive list. At least I could get enterprise datacenter SSDs... once upon a time... I know that I DONT want iLO/IPMI/Redfish on a laptop though, the out of band stuff eats up a ton of power. |
