It would be amazing to be able to disassemble something without compleatly breaking it...
Too difficult for multimillionaire companies.
Check out https://frame.work/ it's a pretty high-end and completely modular laptop.
Definitely will be my next laptop
It's dope, thanks ! For phones, there is https://www.fairphone.com/ But I cannot find an equivalent for tablets
Pine64 has a tablet, the PineTab. It's reasonably repairable.
Seams pretty cool
I tried the newest ultrathin macbook (I think it was macbook air?) and my god did it have the worst keyboard I've ever used in my life. The keys almost felt like a touchscreen, there's no space for them to go down because of how thin the laptop is. I'm all for thinner laptops, but it doesn't have to be this extreme...
It seems to me like this 'cult of thinness' only ever existed in tech media anyway. You would see it all across reviews, using 'tank', 'bulky' etc to describe phones more than 8mm thick and praising devices as they got thinner and bendier.
I actually have always much preferred devices that have a bit of heft, though I'm sure the pendulum will swing again, Apple will introduce a Macbook that you can fold into origami with 15 minutes of screen-on time, the tech press will be all on board with 'thinner and lighter' once again and articles like this one will become passé.
