i really wish laptops had the same degree of customization as desktop computers. what i would give for a laptop that can handle heavy rendering work with as many ports as this decade-old thinkpad i'm using...

#i have FOUR usb ports with 2 in front and 2 at the back. there's an ethernet port. there's vga and mini dp #this laptop was expensive on launch but so was my current one and it's pitiful in comparison. no hdmi or ethernet in it #a lot of newer machines too are soldering down their memory so they can't be upgraded. even for $2-3k ones #it sucks!!#my laptop came with 32gb ram and that's the Maximum it can handle #if i need more (which. isn't unlikely the time i graduate) it'll be like $3k for a better machine #which is insane because i'm typing this on a machine that i more than doubled the ram on and changed out the cpu all by myself at home #planned obsolescence my absolute detested
