I spent so much money on this MacBook Pro (13 inch, touchbar) from 2017, and already just 5 years later, it is soooooo slow (even though I bought it maxed out). But the screen is good, and it still works pretty good. But… unfortunately the screen cannot detach.

I suppose if we are constantly nomadic and on the road, a laptop is our only option. But if we are more home-bound, perhaps then having a desktop of sorts is a good idea.

At least I like the idea if that somehow if your desktop gets outdated, you can either upgrade it (depends on what the desktop is), or at least switch out the computer component and you still can hold onto your (‘old’) display and keyboard/trackpad.

Having to spend $2,000 every 5 years doesn’t seem very sustainable to me.

Given that laptops get outdated so quickly, perhaps a more sustainable option is to just keep on buying the newest iPad (with the fastest, best chip). Like the new M-series processors on the iPad Air, iPad Pro, etc.
