I just realized my mom's laptop (T400s) is already 12 years old. Over time I upgraded RAM (3->6 GB), bought a new SSD and battery and it runs the latest #Fedora Workstation just fine.
That's over with the "postPC" era and its zero upgradability. E.g. who is using iPad 1 which is still 1 year younger than my mom's laptop as a daily driver these days?
Generally it's not great news for the environment.
