If Apple, Dell, HP, Acer, etc... (computer makers in general) are truly "green" companies...why are they still making computers with keyboards and monitors?
When you upgrade, sometimes you want a new backlit keyboard or a sharper monitor. But often times, you just want a faster processor or more internal storage.
To the best of my knowledge; Apple, Dell, HP, Acer, etc.... do not offer solutions/options that run along the lines of:
Just replacing the processor or adding storage as an upgrade (done at the Apple Store for example) where a factory technician takes your existing notebook, laptop, desktop, etc... and just upgrades the existing computer. So you don't end up making yet another keyboard and monitor that will eventually find its way into our landfills. If I were given the option between spending $800 or so getting a primo factory installed, certified, warrantied upgrade vs spending $700 more to get essentially the same keyboard and monitor I already have, I'd go with the cheaper option more often than not.
