That company is not going to be around in five years. Good luck finding any upgrades then.
The whole idea is flawed in too many ways to list.
If you want to have your laptop for a number of years, just get one that can actually be opened and have components replaced. A lot of them can - almost everyone I'd say with exceptions such as apple. For example:
I tend to agree with you. My old Lenovo, you know the one I got the same time Dominica won one from SpiceWorld - it was easy to upgrade the SSD or RAM, really the main components one would upgrade.
Yeah, a lot of them are easy because laptops are made out of components anyway.
Here are videos of hundreds of laptops and how to open them and how to do upgrades:

The biggest waste is things like the monitor - they can generally last 8-12 years, so short of needing an upgrade there, there is nothing wrong with it, yet we are tossing it aside because we want a new processor.
Hmm... Can you still get newer or upgraded VGA monitors?
The just ordered and received Viewsonic monitors have VGA ports on them....
