    Are you passive aggressively gatekeeping fucking lemmy? That wouldn’t reduce ewaste. It would take more materials to make each unit too.

      How would just swapping out the CPU vs dumping the whole unit not reduce ewaste?!

        The CPUs rarely need replacing in a laptop.

        A socketed design uses more materials to make vs a soldiered one.

        If you make 10,000 laptops and spend the extra material on a socketed CPU that maybe 2 would make use of, you have wasted material.

        Dramatic punctuation?!?;/“‘
