Hopefully more regulations will come forcing the manufacturers to think about reparability.
Not sure where the EU right to repair ended up, but it seems more to be optional and just give better labelling.
20%? 40%?
And how much more weight/volume would you be willing to accept for reparability?
PS: Honest, curious question here, not rhetorical.
Pretty sure my next laptop won’t be from Apple unless the prices for upgrades come way down, or drives/memory can be replaced. Paying 3-4000 euro for a new laptop with limited lifetime is not an option.
Sure, you could design a multivariate survey to figure out the willingness to pay and so on, but that's pretty complex, so that's why I'm just asking here for personal opinions.
PS: I'm not claiming that the products are not in the same level, or one is better than the other, just that such a comparison is made on a personal consumer basis and is largely subjective.
