Newegg Adds CPU Trade-In and PC Trade-In Programs

What a bad time to even do a CPU trade in program

The normies have no clue they are buying a ticking timebomb. It's just typical, unscrupulous Intel trying to make cash and ignore the problem. They know most people won't ever update the BIOS on those new systems and will end up getting screwed after the warranty expires in a year and they start getting random crashes and reboots. But hey, Intel got the cash they wanted.

Well, thanks to Windows 11, we're not that far from a point when 900 trillion platforms that are currently providing entirely satisfactory performance with Windows 10 will be looking for a new home, hopefully one that is not below ground. If you catch my drift...

It would be great if there was a plan to market a modern CPU/motherboard combo as a drop-in upgrade to address this issue. (Most especially providing a solution for all those proprietary 'office' and mass-produced pre-built systems.) Coupled with that, it would be wonderful if some merchant would offer something to accept the older parts. As in, send us the CPU and motherboard from your older Dell, Lenovo, or other OEM, and will give you a $20 credit towards a replacement package that will physically fit in your case, will work with your PSU, and will allow you to continue to use the balance of your existing PC parts.
