The framework laptop promises to be an upgradeable and repairable laptop, not quite the same philosophy that makes thinkpads great, but I wonder if newer thinkpads are good enough to prefer over a framework.

    No, the new thinkpads are trash. My company switched from lenovo to Dell because the thinkpads have a tendency for very weird issues and often just die out of nowhere.

      same here. I work in first level support and the only laptop failures we’ve had where the laptop wasn’t destroyed by being dropped were lenovo’s. either something electric dies inside or the housing just starts to fall apart.

        My T580 died out of nowhere, had the motherboard replaced by lenovo and after that, the screws started falling out the bottom. Lenovo was too cheap to even use threaded inserts, the screws go directly into plastic. And their technician overtightened them, so there are no longer any threads in the screw holes and the screws just fall out.
