    I would be curious to see how often people actually upgrade their frameworks.

    I agree with their repair stance. It just feels like one of those things people will tell you they want and then never do.

    Still maybe the explosion in memory prices will change the incentives and people will start holding things longer. It will be interesting to see.

      For me, I’ve upgraded my mainboard to a newer CPU generation for better integrated graphics (old one is in a case as a home server) and I upgraded to their matte screen when they released those.

      It is a bigger deal in business settings, where one laptop can see multiple hands and you’ve got a team dedicated to repair.

      Not typically an issue for the individual user, but always an issue for a team of users.
