"The Laptop That Wouldn't Die"
In a few of my blog posts on right-to-repair culture, I've mentioned my 12-year-old Thinkpad T420
It is: indestructible
My six-year-old Macbook Pro just died, so I'm using the thinkpad while I await a replacement
This Thinkpad has outlived *two* of my top of the line Macbooks
It was built when my eldest son was six ... he's now in college
And it's still going
My ode to it: https://clivethompson.medium.com/the-laptop-that-wont-die-0c478c3fe46c
