So I was thinking about buying a laptop. I’ve already chosen the model. It weighs about 3 kg, if not more. But it’s armored and durable. I hope it will last for about 8-9 years.
Just considering the AI bubble is going to burst, I was worried that there might be a shortage of parts for repairs, and the new devices, as I heard, will have some kind of improved wiretapping at the hardware level.
I’m just going to learn how to repair it, even though I’m a complete noob for now.
Any advice on what to do?
Most laptops or other portable computers are not repairable. Heck, even desktops these days are highly integrated with often just three chips and maybe a graphics card inserted into a motherboard.
If you really want reduced telemetry, switch to Linux NOW and only use systems that F/OSS folk approve of.
If you don’t need a PC for gaming, consider something like a raspberry pi.
