JensSpahnpastaYour Phone is an Entire Computer
blitzenThis model is absolutely short-circuiting the brains of the Apple haters. It upends everything they’ve been complaining about for a decade; all the same arguments that had merit 10 years ago but were mostly resolved 5 years ago (meanwhile, little said about the things Apple currently is terrible about.)
This laptop is:
- cheap
- repairable
- runs a full os
It is not:
- upgradable, but what laptop is these days.
Seriously, it address three of the biggest complaints against Apple historically, and we’re supposed to be mad the phone doesn’t runs desktop OS? Was under the impression the phone didn’t run a full OS because of technical limitations?
Apple could’ve launched a $599 laptop that ran iPadOS, but they didn’t and yet there’s still complaints.

Oh, you poor ignorant fanboy…
Fair enough, enthusiast laptops do. I can’t think of a sub $1,000 mainstream consumer laptop that is.
BytemeisterPretty much every machine I’ve had open has upgradable ram. Unless the machine is the absolute thinnest of ultrabooks, the Ram has been easily removed, replaced and upgraded.
It doesn’t matter really what laptops you’ve owned, what matters is the landscape of new models.
Pretty much every car I’ve owned is gas powered, but we agree the future of most cars is electric.
I didn’t say owned.
And trust me, plenty of non-electric cars will be sold today and tomorrow, same for laptops without soldered RAM.
