A laptop you can upgrade the parts of instead of buying a whole new laptop? Sounds pretty cool. Did I dream it up or is this a real thing?

Those were the bees knees a decade ago but not any more. They used to be extremely durable, upgradable and cheap to find used because businesses would buy them in bulk. There was a whole scene around maintaining them. But now they're just another laptop with a certain aesthetic. Still a good laptop but not the same.
