#2Fantastic to see and I hope that this extends to upgradability too, it's absurd that the only way to get more storage on so called "professional" products like macbooks is to purchase a brand new one.

#3"(Lenovo) said people buy new smartphones every other year but became accustomed used to buying new PCs every six or seven years. The industry needs to do better at motivating people to buy new devices"

There is nothing professional or unprofessional about a device except a name. In the old days, business-targeted devices such as PCs and laptops had user-serviceable parts so that the support could quickly replace a broken fan or faulty memory die and you could get back to work. These days are long gone and I'm sorry to say I blame Apple for a large part of it.

#7Back to the early 2000s ... it is amazing development, but why and how it was allowed to come to the current situation must be discussed and prevented from repeating.

Now Lenovo can join smartphone manufacturers and Google on the as-successful-as-drug-empires stage! Seriously, increasing profit for the sake of profit is a terrible goal. We as consumers need to be less susceptible to the marketing hype and demand to have only technology that serves us.

Yeah, how dare they design laptops not filled to the brim with unnecessary components?
Those 'faulty' memory parts were often 'fixed' by reseating them, a problem soldered-on memory doesn't have.
Broken fans were probably the cheapest obtainable.
Those things just don't break so often anymore. I prefer welded shut quality stuff over a never ending chain of repairs.
I like Apple for batteries that last longer than 12 months, screens with high resolution and reference color, lightweight housing that's not too flimsy. (just don't talk about the keyboards from 2016-2018 ;) )
