I'm excited about the third gen 8cx laptop made using 5nm technology. https://www.windowscentral.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x13s-announce-snapdragon-8cx-gen-3

Kind of makes me feel sorry for the car guys who can't exactly emulate the classic cars they'd love to own.

There’ll be something crucial that is only existent in the original vehicle.

this modest and cheap computer can run thousands of genuinely useful programs/games on battery power, for hours at a time.

It's been Chromebooks since our eldest was in third grade and now that she's in 10th grade, it's the only computer she wants to use. Really, it's the only one she needs too. I wonder if Microsoft even sees this on the horizon.

Amazes me how much heat modern hardware produces sometimes,

Growing up dealing with kilobits and kilobytes and having to wait MUCH longer makes me marvel how much has changed in my lifetime, and appreciate it so much more than most I think. ?

What would hinder a replication?

Remember what I initially said: A classic car that you could recreate completely from scratch, from the frame up, using third-party replacement parts. That precludes there being an existing car to use for parts, or any new-old-stock or other OEM parts. It also precludes fabricating any parts yourself.

@kelli217 Cars are way more than computers a victim of entropy ie wear. So eventually there will be no old car that can be used for parts nor any new-old-stock. And so people might still desire the car or other retro object. And will have to fabricate them using the old drawings or (3D) precision measurements.
What will remain is the blue prints ie the information about the car. All else will decay.
