It’s a 13in laptop that’s laughed at Onshape so far and is powerful enough for moderate gaming, and it’s designed to be fixed when something breaks. And if/when I decide it isn’t powerful enough to meet my needs anymore (dunno how long that’s gonna take, the Ryzen 7840u is pretty beefy) I can drop in the most current mainboard and upgrade to whatever the new hotness CPU/iGPU is.
In theory it’s the last daily-driver laptop I’m going to need.
I don’t have any delusions that we’re going to see a proper body on frame EV truck the size of your old Ranger or my first gen Frontier, but if Nissan could put their ePower series hybrid system in a new Frontier with a 30-50kWh pack I could see myself buying one.
