why do new gaymer electronics tend to be so fragile and hard to repair?
>>727668258>fragileBreaks easily so you have to buy a new one.>hard to repairCan't fix it so you have to buy a new one.Electronics can absolutely be made to work 24/7, 365 days a year, for 30 years. It's just that consumer electronic companies don't make money from that.
>>727668357>>727668476>thread sufficiently answered in the first two postsWell done, /v/. Jannies can archive now.
>>727668476>>727668357jou say this but picrel i posted in the OP is a panasonic let's note and it fixes everything fa/g/s have been complaining for years>durable>easy to repair, upgradable>removable battery>great keyboard>long battery life>every port imaginable>retro design>solid customer supportbut yet it flopped when it tried to reach global audiences, nobody outside of japan buys it, and nobody tries to copy it either, while macbooks with soldered ram that break in 2 years top the chartssimilar stories everywhere-consumers complain, company listens and makes a product the sales are pitiful
>>727668357Why do we have the greatest economy of all time? >Jews
>727668991Don't give this retarded nigger (You)s.
>>727668917Almost like consumers are retarded cattle that just want shiny things they don't have to tinker with.
>>727669101idgi. why do the people who get constantly enraged online and shit on new products for being anti-consumer keep buying them up instead of good alternatives?
>>727668476I despise Siemens PLC jews
>>727668258fragileEvery laptop Ive owned since the mid 90s still works fineI can still boot up my Digital DEC laptop and play Civilization 2 on it
>>727668258so you buy more of them
>>727669369because good alternatives are not being advertised, if you release a product on a saturated market without constantly hammering every webpage known to mankind about it then no one will buy because they'll just think your product is like any others.then there's also the brand effect, retards that keep buying Apple shit will never buy anything else because it's not Apple, this can also be applied to other brands.
>>727668258Probably affordability.I can imagine If they gave us a MacBook with a 5090 in it that fucking thing would cost $6000+So instead they give us a solid cpu, gpu, ram, etc and wrap it all up in dollar store wiring and a plastic body made out of used milk jugs.
>>727669947>MacBook with a 5090worst proposal i've ever heard
Is getting an old computer worthwhile like how CRTs are?
>>727670509autists buy old laptops(usually thinkpads) because they're super durable but computers no
>>727668476/threadThey are clearly doing this shit on purpose. It's all about making you spend more.
the product reflects its target demographic
>>727670440It's the best laptop in the world, build quality is better than anything else.
>>727672537
bump
i really like laptops
>>727668917its a one off device, the problem is that everything in the list you mentioned isnt common. its hard to track down replacement parts, you probably specifically have to talk to panasonicthe steam deck is an example of something done right, you can open it up, mod/repair it, lots of community support and parts because everyone has onealso the model you showed, they could have at least put SOME effort into the looks. the outdated grey plastic looks like crap
>>727675982i hear the customer service is really good in japan, but outside the country parts will be super hard to find. but not really a problem if it becomes mainstream, there's a reason thinkpads are crazy popular in america bc companies buy them up and sell them used so there's a bunch of spare parts lying aroundalso let's be real the design sucks but it's not like other brands do any better
>check youtube review of panasonic laptop>goycattle shitting on it for removable batteries praising macbook in the commentsabsurd
>>727668258If not for it running Windows 11, I would have mistaken this for a laptop from the 2000s. Whose bright idea was it to have a circular trackpad?
>>727668991True.
>>727677889>I would have mistaken this for a laptop from the 2000s.and that's a bad thing because...
>>727673296yeh he is 100% right, Macbook's are ferrari compared to Windows 2004 Kia with bad transmission
>>727675653same they are comfy and you can easily carry them off compared to a full pc setup
>>727679272lol

why do poorfags hate apple so much?
>>727681401>why do poorfags hate apple so much?Oh I don't know, it could be that they force component manufacturers to sell only to Apple, which means that repair shops can't get their hands on any of the necessary components to do repairs. Apple literally has a manufactured monopoly on repairs.
When I was taking my CompTIA certs the instructor spent at least five class sessions just shitting on Apple. They have a reputation.
>>727680493Kyle?
>>727681895razer has a worse reputation btw
>>727681602What the fuck are you talking about, there’s shops that’ll repair apple stuff everywhere.
>>727679976cats and apple owners fully deserve this
laptops are shit you dumb cunt
>>727682410For most modern MacBooks for instance the integral components are soldered to the board and can't be purchased by retailers. Most retail shops have to scavenge parts from older models or be a part of Apples official repair program, but even then they do not have access to many parts needed.https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254120044?sortBy=rank
>>727668258>hard to repairLenovo actually offers spares and repair guides to their hardware. I've changed heatsink and keyboard on my Legion 5 Pro laptop earlier this year. Steam Deck is also very repairable. Your statement is false.
>>727668258Because it's cheaper for the consumer and more profitable for the manufacturer. Buy a Framework Laptop if you want repairability and upgradeability anon. Those are features you have to pay for.
>>727683242>Because it's cheaper for the consumerIt isn't. Making a Laptop's components replaceable doesn't add any extra cost to the manufacturing. The only reason why they want to make it harder to replace your own parts is because they want to upsale you on the repair; they want the consumer to HAVE to go to them for the repair because it ensures a second revenue stream after the original sale.Having replaceable components is possible and done by companies like >>727682878
>>727683442>Making a Laptop's components replaceable doesn't add any extra cost to the manufacturingGlue is cheaper than screws
>>727668258i bought a fucking wireless mouse a year ago and this is the THIRD FUCKING ONE that started double clickingfucking hell i had my old qpad 5k for like 10 years and it only failed because i yanked on the cord too many times
>>727683242>fragile shitno
>>727668258Combining multiple functions into single chips is cheaper and reduces costs, but because the entire thing is soldered together you can't replace the broken pieces of it. Hence why if your controller's circuit board breaks you have to replace the entire thing.
>>727683665What manufacturer uses glue today?
>>727683741and by third one i meant that i replaced it two times since last january, how the fuck is it possible to make electronics that don't even last half a year before catastrophically failing?
>>727683665Companies like Apple use solder and the cost difference is minimal. You can get a roll of solder for 10$ or a complete set of laptop screws for 8-9$
>>727683242I like framework as a concept but their prices are simply too high if you want any dGPU.
>>727668476Gaming mice companies have to be the most blatant offenders of this bullshit.
>>727683819All kinds for phones and tablets. Go look at ifixit.
>>727668258To make them break easier so you have to buy a new one. Seriously, what kind of question is that? Are you retarded?
>>727668258Looks like a repurposed portable DVD player.
>>727684737if consumers don't buy them they'll have no choice but to make them sturdier
>>727685735consumers will keep buying them because they can't live without one
>>727685735Yeah but luckily the consumer cattle will buy it anyway, especially if all options on the market are equally shitty.
