So I was thinking about buying a laptop. I’ve already chosen the model. It weighs about 3 kg, if not more. But it’s armored and durable. I hope it will last for about 8-9 years.

Just considering the AI ​​bubble is going to burst, I was worried that there might be a shortage of parts for repairs, and the new devices, as I heard, will have some kind of improved wiretapping at the hardware level.

I’m just going to learn how to repair it, even though I’m a complete noob for now.

Any advice on what to do?

    Quite a good and useful answer, thank you.

    Yes, in the future there will be a serious problem with spare parts, so it really is worth choosing something for which I can at least find parts.

    If anything, I’m just going to buy a laptop with a durable shell like this – dell Latitude 5430 Rugged.

      Nice, that’s a better rugged laptop than I imagined. Seems to be a fortified variant of a regular Latitude, so you should have access to interchangeable parts for years to come.
