The CEO of Lenovo even said that he would like to sell laptops like smartphones (one every 1-3 years). Also the only reason why Windows 11 has high requirements is so that manufacturers can sell new hardware (I'm running W11 on a 13 year old laptop (T510)).

I'm looking for a source on the Lenovo thing but modern SEO shit doesn't make it easy...

Haha I have read about the ways to defeat the bogus Win11 CPU checks. A fake check to enforce the upgrade treadmill!
