Speaking of needing new hardware, do you think it’s still worth it when it ends up becoming a Ship of Theseus thing where you replace a different part every couple of years? Would that still end up being cheaper vs buying a new laptop with all the newest specs in 8-10 years?

Reasonably I don't think that's how most people are going to upgrade the laptop.

You'll swap out the GPU and the CPU but I suspect the rest of the hardware will stay the same.
