Ask HN: How come there are no durable laptops anymore?

there are plenty of ones even older than that still kicking and in regular use, just check out r/thinkpad, im typing this on a 2012 X1 carbon which shows no signs of dying despite being used heavily every day.

that being said current laptops, thinkpads included are all now using components which output too much heat for the cooling systems, almost every modern i7 laptop has some level of thermal throttling which could well shorten the life of other components but i guess only time will tell on that.

i still dont think its enough to warrant the inevitable increase in price (and likely weight and size to a degree) that using higher end components would incur
