    How would just swapping out the CPU vs dumping the whole unit not reduce ewaste?!

      The CPUs rarely need replacing in a laptop.

      A socketed design uses more materials to make vs a soldiered one.

      If you make 10,000 laptops and spend the extra material on a socketed CPU that maybe 2 would make use of, you have wasted material.

      Dramatic punctuation?!?;/“‘
