PBLOG Platinum

The PBLOG Platinum is a line of laptops and chromebooks released by PBLOG Group and manufactured by Foxconn. They come in both regular laptops with PBLOG OS and can be found only at PBLOG stores. There are educational variants of the PBLOG Platinum as well dubbed the ePlatinum, which uses PBLOG OS and is designed for schools to compete with chromebooks.

Design
The PBLOG Platinum has two USB-C ports on both sides, but lacks a charging jack, HDMI jack, ethernet, or an SD slot and instead uses a proprietary wireless charging station that is rechargeable. The SSD inside is also proprietary instead of the typical 2.5" SATA, which is found on most computers, and the SSD itself is assigned a serial number, along with the charging station. The laptop will not recognize any new part if it is third-party and PBLOG Group has started cracking down on third-party repair shops by threatening legal action to those found to be selling replacement parts (SSD or charging station). In shorter words, if the SSD fails or if the charging station stops working, the person will have to replace the laptop entirely. This is similar to Apple's crackdown on third party repair by programming their iPhones to reject third party repair.
