Consider how expensive it is to store and operate those tools. Square footage isn't cheap most places; my wood shop probably costs me about $550 a month in used space! In that light, refreshing a laptop every five years or so (on the low end for my usual cadence for Macs; both my 2016 and 2011 Macbook Pros are still in use for dedicated tasks) amortizes out a lot more pleasantly.

Consider how much space all the thrown out Apple products take up in landfills.

I haven't thrown out a MacBook in my entire life. All three are all still in use, and two of those were bought used in the first place. I also have three iPads, going back to the iPad 2, that are still in use. I cannot say that about the Android devices I have had in a similar length of time such as the Nexus 10's putrefying back case that makes it unpleasant to touch. And while I have the PC cases I have had for a decade, the rest of both of them have said hello to Theseus at least twice.

So...what, then?
