Loftwings and Demons

If there's one thing I hate it's the Apple-ization of electronics, by which I mean companies making products that look flashy but break easily and aren't easily repairable or salvageable by the end user.  Apple isn't the only company that does this by a long shot, it's just the most egregrious about it (though Microsoft certainly tries their best to beat that record lol). For example, I stopped buying Nexus phones from Google years ago when they stopped making the battery user-replaceable.  The laptops I've bought over the years run a wide gamut of brands as well--the only thing they share in common is the ability of the end user to change out the battery/hdd/RAM etc without much more than a screwdriver. There's no one brand I'd recommend because companies frequently switch their products from being user-repairable to being unrepairable.  Making sure my electronics are repairable is very important to me, so regardless of other advantages, I always look for decent repairability first and foremost.
