    actually, all a 3rd party is likely to do is send it into the manufacturer anyway and charge you the added cost.

    laptops are disposable computing devices.

    the price of non-warranty related repairs equal that of buying a new laptop most of the time.

    they're not meant to last a long time. there's no money in that.

    where as if you build your own white box desktops/servers, you can simply upgrade and replace components when needed at a fraction of the cost of stock systems.

    if someone could make notebook/mobile hardware that can be swapped out then it would be better.

    unforutnately, that would add weight and size to the box.
