Planned obsolescence promoter big-tech Pigs collaborated with Han pigs and built laptop hinges to survive only 2 years. Then they extort 5k for 100rs plastic back panel.

the world has gone fake and gay and retarded and normies ruined everything
problem is multifold
- normies used to take internet and computing so "nerdish" thing, most users of these techs were already above average users by virtue of dealing with everything on their own
- apple brought iphone and popularised that "smart" phone thing among normies
- normies, by nature of sheepiness, love everything that's hip or popular
they also love apple maal not because mac os is a bsd-fork and functional at terminal level but because KEWL
- apple tendency of keeping appearance while cutting corners with hardware, while keeping kewl looking GUI for softwares (reminder original macintosh used to advert itself as better looking than MS DOS and Win 3.1 style of early GUIs)
- soon everyone else starts following same trend to make their hardware thinner/slimmer, lightweight, "compact", attractive and so while sacrificing at quality, maintainability and repairability, upgradeablity
- normies rarely have iq above room temperature so if their hardware "slows" down they rather look at next hip thing in market, buy it and dumps previous maal to trash
- companies realise they can keep on milking normies with planned obsolence practices that involve making things unfixable at least or slowing them down at most
- the true "power" users like us are a minority so our opinions are never heard or declared "niche" and sidelined
- even in OS market, microshart is literally trying to adopt touch screen features in mainstream OS since years, starting with Win 8 and now 11 wants to be Mac-like OS in terms of basic looks...WHILE LITERALLY RUINING LOTS OF THINGS THAT MADE MICROSHART STAND STRONG = BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY AND USABILITY
- long term result = ENSHITTIFICATION of everything
my 2013 era laptop doesn't have underpowered U series cpu, and it's actually socketed means i can easily install compatible CPU for that socket on it GIVEN THEY ARE STILL MADE AND SUPPORTED - I actually thought of upgrading it with i7 when those used CPUs became cheaper enough but eventually dropped it thinking itne purane laptop me kya cpu upgrade karu
but at least i could do it, aajkal toh everything is soldered even fuckin' RAM huh?!
there was a time when laptops came in two fashions = thin and light and cosy for most normies, and thicker with more ports and upgradeable for office users and above
Dell had Vostro, HP had Inspiron, Lenovo had Thinkpads for most above average individuals, for serious modders Dell had Alienware (reminder even in 2016 they made laptops with PC CPU sockets and even GPU sockets so even graphics card could be upgraded in it) and Latitude, HP had elitebook...
nowadays most power subbrands too have adopted enshittified practices
i wish for thorough painful death and destruction of Apple

protip,

In my case metalic hinge survives. But it breaks those tiny screw holes made inside back panel or sometimes creates a crack in the back panel.protip,
if the hinge is made of thin aluminium rod and broken, you could try to get it welded at jaan pehechan waali sunaar ki dukaan, tell them to use peetal (brass) ka welding,
when mine broke first time, i informed my father, he asked me to get it all disassembled, observed it for a while, took it to some sunaar unkil here, got it welded and excess ka peetal filed off to maintain that flat shape, came back, we installed everything back and it worked just fine for years to come
it did break again after some years but we just repeated previous jugaad and got it fixed, still strong
while replacement hinge are sold for 1200 some rupees for one side of hinge...
aji
whenever someone's laptop hinge breaks i suggest them this idea not as an act of benevolence but also as a big FUCK YOU
even uberconsooming goras are suffering and annoyed but they can't lash out because lobbying is legal in the california hell
Are bhai Indians were also modular maxxer. Even Indian normies miss those modular laptops and phones. It's the gora folks who normalised these things. Unfortunately electronic industries follow whatever is hype in goraland. Modular is again becoming hype in goraland so you are framework like company owned by a NRI selling their laptop there. That same NRI could have sold it in India, but man want to ride the gora trend to skem gora money. Even though Framework like laptops would be a hit in India. He will fail btw cuz this modular trend in goraland is niche..as a /g/tard myself

Yeah. But I thin such laptops should not be premium lmao. I hope some dhando yuba copy paste it here for cheap. Even if it is just components being imported from China land and being assembled here...that's how these kinds of laptops will revive in India.
