Not sure I agree. I think ColdCard is probably one of the more difficult hardware wallets to get a grasp out there.
I wouldn't say they are difficult to grasp, but it's certainly not device for everyone or for someone who owns shitcoins.
I don't think that Coldcard have best security features and they had history of misleading customers before with some false statements.

My laptops last 4-5 years, and then they die. It's always the motherboard that is the weak spot in my experience. I have had 3 laptops whose motherboards has failed in my lifetime. Buying a second-hand laptop is not an option for me because they simply aren't as good performance-wise and there is the added risk of hardware failures for outdated components.   
That's probably because you purchase junk consumer laptops, so it's your fault for wasting money.
I did not say buy crap laptops, but buy business class tanks like good old Thinkpad T series, or Dell Latitude/Precision... because they are indestructible, that is why military uses them.
You can easily find spare parts for them locally or online, and they are modular so you can replace each part, cpu, etc separately.
