A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

Yes, but jokes aside, it seems like you can find whatever you need for MacBooks from circa 2010 to 2012. At least, when I needed something, I could find it without issues.

    I prefer my to buy computers from companies that aren't actively combating repairability efforts for their products and purposefully making them prematurely obsolete.

    Framework for one, but just about any other computer maker is better by that metric.

    While I agree, I’d like Apple (and others) to make repairability better (or even exist), but as an owner of quite a lot of Apple tech, it’s very well made, usually. Until it breaks, obviously, but it breaks less than a random cheap brand. At least for me. Any other computer maker is rather unable to lock down the devices the same way. I bet they’d happily do so, if given the opportunity. Plenty of modern laptops with non-swappable memory and even SSDs.
