Please dont tell me my personal experience is false.
You didn't phrase it as a personal experience. You could have just said "not fun for me anymore". Instead, you implied the world has changed, when it could be just you.

My list of essentials for a pro computer at this point would be: * Robustness * Upgradeability * longevity * reasonable performance Having the latest and greatest isn't essential, since I've had my current pair of thinkpad and custom build desktop for a few years now and after a some upgrades(new SSDs, maybe a new GPU and extra RAM for the desktop, etc.) I expect to use them for a few more, maybe even until 2020, if…
What laptop do you have where the screen is upgradeable? Or are you talking about doing it with a standard laptop, opening it up and replacing the panel? Is that usually viable with laptops?
