Whenever I buy clothes they always end up getting holes quickly, I burn through socks fast, my bags keep breaking, my phones magically shit themselves and my chargers melt. I'm sick of everything being a wear part and I'm wondering where people get things that last.

    It depends on what she wants.

    Framework makes good laptops. Anker makes good cables.

      Maybe they've turned their act around, but the Framework Batch 11 laptop kept breaking down on me. I had a host of issues (motherboard died, touchpad was simultaneously loose and sticky, power management messes, bad heat management), After just two years, the keyboard failed, and they don't actually sell replacement keyboards, despite the whole premise being that you're supposed to be able to buy replacement parts.

      I've actually not had good luck with Anker overall. My powerbank turned into a spicy pillow right after the one year mark. My soundcore started having syncing problems after a couple years.
      And the PD part of my power cube broke after a month. At least that one was still under warranty though.

      For cables Anker has been good fwiw

      I still feel like monoprice is my best option for cables though. A good balance between durability and price. But I know some hate them and call them cheap crap. I don't buy their other stuff. Only the cables.
