Reply to comment by F-21 in LAPTOP?! Yes, laptop. Framework, specifically. by Goldie1822

I’m still rocking my old Lenovo G780 I bought in 2012. Core i5 and a gt630. Wasn’t terribly expensive at the time, maybe $700-750 with an extra stick of RAM. I still use it every day. Upgraded the HDD to an SSD last year to buy it more time. Everything still works great but the battery is getting weaker… I’m lucky to get an hour out of it at lower brightness.

Yeah I swappes the one in my MBP at some point.

Still, I considered it a wear item and ot was really easy to replace. Not something I'd fault the PC for, at some point a battery just needs to be replaced...

Absolutely. I still have my old HP laptop I bought in 2005 and that still works great, too, albeit extremely slow. I think I may even have the original battery in it but I can’t remember for sure. I remember i had the cpu fan replaced under warranty when it was new and the charging cable around 2009-2010. I hardly ever use it anymore, though.
