Last couple of phones I've bought have been pixel a-series, new. Only reason I've felt I had to upgrade what the phone no longer getting security updates.

Expensive, but worth it.
Maybe its time to rethink desktop security. I realize that there is credential manager on windows, keychain on mac, and similar on gnu/linux; even with that it seems for a lot of services "all" you need to do is steal a cookie and all of a sudden you are someone else.
For now.

You will own nothing and you will be happy.
I shocked! Shocked I tell you! ...well, not that shocked.
hard drives and SSDs don't count as physical
When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?
Even on a streaming service, the files are stored physically somewhere.
What is your plan when the licence agreement for your favorite series expires on your chosen streaming service and no other streaming service picks up the show?

You will not be allowed to legally own tv shows or films and you should learn to like it. As I can tell from many of the other comments here, not many of us are fans of that idea.
I paid $450 USD for a first gen X1 Yoga back in 2019 on eBay. Best advice is to either be patient and check eBay regularly or make friends with somone in IT close to you and get them to let you know when a local business is doing an upgrade.
It needs to be at least 3 times bigger
I have the WH-CH720N (catchy name) and they have been good. The headband is a little narrow, but after wearing them a few times it doesn't bother me anymore. Also, they started disconnecting and reconnecting a bunch lately, turns out there is something funky with the sony headphones app. Uninstalling the app seems to have fixed the issue. I've had mine for over a year now.
Well, not that shocked.
