Quote from: MOFO on December 16, 2022, 22:37:10What a brilliant idea!
Sure get rid of MXM GPU's, BGA mobile CPU's , user replaceable RAM slots and removable batteries ( which DELL was in the for front of starting this trend )
but make a "modular" design laptop with limited upgrade options.
I remember the days when you could upgrade all that hardware without having to worry so much about more Ewaste and users could keep a laptop much longer instead of dumping something after 2-3 years.

Are you going to repurpose this as an aquatic habitat? I.E. throw it in the river?

How so? The parts can be repurposed and laptops don't get thrown away after 3 years.

Dell's engineers have continued to work on Concept Luna, the company's sustainability-focused laptop design, over the past year, refining elements of the project to better improve repair and upgrade options. Key among these is the elimination of wires and adhesives and the inclusion of telemetry to help users and robots track the status of the laptop's components.
