I’m still using my non-upgradable base model 2013 Macbook Pro, while I don’t know anyone still using a 7 year old Windows/Linux laptop, even an upgraded one. It’s fallen on a cement floor multiple times and has had no damage from that. Repairability doesn’t matter if it doesn’t break in the first place, and there’s certainly been no problems with obsolescence, planned or otherwise.

I’ve got a Dell m4600 that I bought in 2011. I specifically chose it so that I could upgrade. It’s now got a new SSD, HDD and 24GB of RAM. It works well enough for most things, but not video editing.
