Currently using a T490s (win-based on WSL, work machine) and a T480s (Fedora, upgraded to 24gb ram) for personal projects and they're both fine machines. The T480s runs a bit cooler after a repaste than the T490s but I'd say they can handle fine whatever I throw at them.

Were you never curious about what the little [-] did? Where's your sense of adventure! I rib you, but at the same time I understand and your idea has merit.
Not the person you're asking, but I thought the [-] acted as a downvote button and hid the offending content at the same time. If it isn't, why do some controversial comments get into a lighter font?

My wireless Magic Keyboard with Numpad and Touch ID just stopped working one day. I took it to the Apple Premium Reseller store where it was purchased for service, and it took them FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS to replace it.
I should have walked out of that store with a new one in my hands, because it’s impossible to repair. I seriously wonder what took them four and a half months to realize that.
I am a Portuguese Mac user and we still don’t have an official Apple Store in my country (although there are a few third-party certified support centres) and have been using mostly Surface laptops at work, but with the Apple Silicon switch I bought a mid-range Lenovo Ryzen laptop solely for running and building x86 Linux packages, and I am pretty happy with it even though it is plasticky and hardly as polished.
I suspect the high end ones might be suitable, although to be fair I had an X1 Carbon a few years back and loathed it - it was the reason I opted for Surface laptops to run Windows.

What are the problems with it in practice? I'd have ordered one if it was shipping to my country
It’s a non-stop parade of weirdness. Fixes from recent BIOS release notes include things like “Fix battery not charging when system is off.” https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-bios ... Again, part of me is glad I supported them. I just wish I wasn’t reminded of it several times a week when I’m dealing with one random issue or another with it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I regret it…
Depends on what you are working on, but don’t dismiss buying a cheap chromebook with a decent screen and using a cloud instance. A lot of IDE plugins make it an even better experience. Just make sure you are near the data centre and it’ll be better then you think.
Imagine paying a rental on your development environment.
It's not for everyone, but you are paying for your development environment either way (upfront by buying powerful notebook, or as-you-go by renting cloud instance). Seems fine as long as it is conscious choice.
For my next laptop, I'm waiting for Framework to open shipping to Switzerland. It won't come this kind of warranty but its full repairability will make up for it.
I absolutely love my Framework laptop for dev. I feel the software support is also quite good, at least for Fedora which is explicitly supported. I got the DIY edition and put everything together, including installing Fedora, in under 1 hour. And I'm a really slow guy, haven't build a computer in 10 years - its too easy with framework. This laptop is really build to be repairable and modular and it does not suck at a…
Since you know the product (frame.work) well: how does one get the specifications page?! Last time I checked, they (notebookcheck.net) said it used a glossy display instead of matte; I cannot find a specifications table in the frame.work website and the closest thing I got is in the "Marketplace Parts" section, e.g. at https://frame.work/products/display-kit - where the non-trivial, simply critical detail of glossy v…
