  1. The nice thing about affordable quality notebooks like classic Thinkpads is one can easily afford two or several of them and always have a ready spare while rarely needing it (I would never be one machine deep since one of anything is one away from "none" and computers are necessities) or have machines for multiple OS and because hdd can be quickly swapped there is very little downtime even over many years use. Upgradeability is nice too. My 96GB and 128GB P52s were ordered with the cheapest placeholder hard drive and least RAM so I could do exactly what I anticipated and the company knowingly provided for, buy aftermarket RAM and nice large drives for their three drive bays each. Lenovo HMM are excellent as is serviceability. Nearly all the T61 I assembled from donors still run today as shop machines for jobs like flashing GM computers or reading manuals and ordering parts.

  2. Many nhumans have no identity but the shiny objects they buy. Most humans are not socially intelligent and branding sells enormous amounts of product based on customer identification with mass-produced consumer goods, be they vehicles, tools, or computers.That is no different than getting ones identity from their brand of toilet tissue and it is a personal vulnerability, a bug not a feature.
