Someday I plan to buy one! Probably once my current main laptop isn't keeping up anymore, but it's less than two years old.

Stacking more sats is a better use of your energy if your current machine is working.

Exactly, my plan is to keep running it for at least three more years until it gets downgraded to a secondary laptop.

Do you own one of these? Man, I would like one.

My wife has one of these - it's really slick, both high quality, and configurable. Coincidentally she also works for the organization that introduced the right to repair bill. I'd pick one up myself, but I can't justify replacing my current machine just yet.

Yep, an early one. Still use it pretty much daily. Bought one of the unassembled ones. I've replaced some parts like the hinges (I didn't like the original ones) and a fan. By far the easiest laptop repairs I've ever made.

I have repaired some Mac's and Thinkpads over the years.

I love the idea.

The idea was a massive factor for me. I hate the disposable nature of computers. The fact that they make them so difficult to work on and upgrade. I bought one and also switched to Linux at the same time. Never looked back.
