I assume not just replace, but upgrade, in some cases

You can swap out the motherboard, so yeah. Not sure how long they support specific Laptop bodies (or frames) for but I would imagine some of their frames are good for a long minute.

The motherboards are often 80%+ the cost of an entire new machine though.

Probably because they include the CPU if I am not mistaken, but probably makes sense and is worth the hassle if your concern is your CPU / main hardware is falling behind.

[SV_BubbleTime]

Does that make sense? Because for another $200-300, you get a new chassis, keyboard, monitor, touchpad, webcam, antennas, and whatever else.

It’s kind of a bad deal.
