As a curiosity what are you buying nowadays?

I have a 4-year-old iPhone 10 Because I'm equally unhappy with Google as Apple.

I have an Alienware laptop that I absolutely DESPISE because the MacBooks were a joke at the time I needed a laptop. Fundamentally I have a problem with Apple soldering wear items and replaceable parts to the motherboard. But the Alienware is just unreliable. But, so were the butterfly keyboards of the MacBooks.

Have you seen these laptops: https://frame.work/?

Yea. Louis Rossman gave them a glowing review. They will probably be my next purchase.

My solution is to invest more in custom PC builds (for the company) and after my recently refurbished MacBook Pro (2013/core i7/16gb ram/500 gb ssd/all the ports/ Manjaro) dies - Framework laptop.

By using a laptop as a mobile computer and dedicated powerful PC as a desktop I actually can ignore Apple chip advancements.

On a smartphone level, my personal solution is to use flip phone for calls and DeGoogled Android for necessary apps.

In the next 3 years I plan to move to Talos workstation (https://bit.ly/3lY6fpc).
