You can buy common business laptops such as thinkpad and swap the parts easily and cheaply. People aren’t swapping their 2011 i3 for a 2011 i7 if they care about performance; they’re getting an i5 from 2018.&lt;p&gt;None of these swappable parts are unique aside from the processor (mine is soldered), I can replace all my parts and my laptop cost under $200.</text></comment>
