    Indeed, laptops and even more so power banks, strike me as some of the least BIFL products in existence. Only Smartphones and wireless a earbuds might be worse.

    If the child is amenable, a used thinkpad with Linux will keep running smoothly basically forever, take a beating, and be serviceable.

    And get them in all kind of arguments over office formats.

      Not literally “for life”, sure, but high quality powerbanks can last a long time.

      Mine will turn 10 years old in a couple weeks, I see no signs of aging yet.
