> you can get a 10 year old ThinkPad for 10% of the price that will perform roughly as well as this one.

Eventually those Thinkpads will run/wear out. The hardware designs for a [pretty much a Thinkpad] will be a good thing to have then. Let rich nerds looking for bragging rights support development for the future; call them patrons.

Also, they will sell 6 of these, it's not an environmental concern in any way.
