Computers have gotten boring. They're just another tool. I make a semi-major upgrade once every other year on my systems. I have a laptop too, they're definitely boring, although I've upgraded that one too. But you're only limited to upgrading RAM and hard disk on laptops. On the laptop, I've upgraded both RAM and storage, from 4GB to 8GB, and from an HDD to an SSD. The upgrade to a water cooler on my desktop will allow me to avoid upgrading the processor for several more years. Doesn't really occupy too much more of my time beyond that. My point is "why". Computers are boring, not just laptops. |
