Its entirely dependant on your location, prices relative to said location, and your comfort replacing said components.

There isn’t an answer thats true enough for a wide enough range of laptops, and while I could try to do this all for you, that would be asking a lot from a random stranger on the internet.

I should mention for ram though, if the ram is soldered, then I personally feel that if you think there is even a hint youll ever use even 75% of the ram you’ll be getting with the machine, its probably better to get more ram, because not having enough ram can be a huge killer of longevity in a way that not many other components can.

If the ram is not soldered, much less pressure, and then you’d do that whole price comparison thing alone instead

There is at least one Robo vac that does not rely on the cloud, and personally I can’t imagine feeling comfortable with a robovac being cloud connected for no reason.

To me, this seems like pretty much what they were expecting to do in the first place, and a classic case of pushing too far on purpose, just to back track to pretty much where they wanted to be. A plan that is a classic among big corporations.

I don’t think this is good enough, because it still would make future customers wary of buying their products, just to have support for new features dropped, in some cases, just days after they buy the product.

Some could argue that they don’t “owe” anyone that, but this is how the tech industry has worked for a while with its fast moving software pace. If NVidia, their only major rival, and even Intel, both continue to offer full fledged support for far longer than AMD, this continues to really dampen the reasons one would go for an AMD card.

Now AMD cards will have:

• Shorter prioritized driver support

• Less game support from devs (due to their lack of market share)

• Fewer games covered by their game specific features (FSR4 Suite) than their main competitor (NVidia with DLSS and FG)

• Trailing feature development (on average) when compared to their main rival NVidia

And users will be expected to accept this, all for a discount of typically just 50 dollars for GPUs of similar raw performance.

That seems like a very raw deal to me, and that is very unfortunate given the already greater than 90% market share NVidia commands in gaming and even higher market share in enterprise compute (AI included).
