I could, but by the time I need a new laptop (last one I bought was 2017) the chassis and screen end up beat to shit and need to be replaced anyways.

I also just have no use for upgrades in my laptops. They’re always single purpose machines and I replace them when they break, not when they get slow.

I have a desktop that keeps up with modern hardware. Never got the need for the same in my laptop

But... you could replace the part that breaks instead of buying a new laptop
