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.

I bought a W500 in 2008 and it was/is the best laptop I have ever owned. I bought a P15 Gen2 in 2022 and it’s been good. Performance and features are 10/10 but hardware support was a little wonky for Debain. No support on 10 and 11, 12 has some bugs. That’s not a fault of the ThinkPad but this is the first time in years that I have had to work so hard to get basic features going.
Also there was that time it shot sparks out of the charge port but they upgraded me from an i5 to an i7 so I’d call that neutral.
