#3Best means that it's better than everything else which in this case is factually incorrect.
I do think that X220 is a great laptop because despite its age, it still runs great.
But, tbh, i don't think that it holds up well in terms of performance if we compare it to any modern laptop.
What we do want is a modern laptop which is open source friendly, has a great battery life, is repair-friendly, has a good hardware. Do Framework laptops fit this criteria? I don't know. I also do hear that the modern Thinkpads are good but they used to be better, years back.

#4I'll happily agree with that. My X201 was basically the closest thing to walking around with a desktop in your backpack. If I had the money to install a high-res screen, I'd still be using it today.

#5Holy mother of clickbaits. There IS no best laptop in the world, just like there is no best car in the world etc.

Many Asus Expertbook laptops support RAM replacement, has multiple storage slots, ethernet and other ports.

#7Love mine but the I5 is showing its age. Incredibly slow to do anything. Firefox with NoScript and uBlock Origin becomes necessary.

#8The X220 ThinkPad was launched in 2011. Since then, I have owned more than three of them. I have also had several X201 and X230 models. Among them, the X220 is my favorite because it features the iconic blue Enter button.
All of these models are nearly unbreakable. The only issues I've encountered so far are related to the fans and the fact that they tend to get very hot after about two years of daily use. By daily use, I mean working on them and having daily video calls—the hardware just isn't designed for that level of usage.
I have given all of my previous ThinkPads to friends and family. Recently, I purchased a used X220 (with an i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 500GB SSD) for 250 bucks. It's now my "holiday" notebook, running FreeBSD and Sway.

#9I had one and it was great.

#10I don’t understand the super thin and light laptop trend.
I don’t care how much it weighs, give me a milled aluminum chassis that could double as a weapon. I also want it thick enough for a normal Ethernet port and a good keyboard. Speaking of ports, I want them all. Can’t always predict what my travels will get me into, and more options is better than less. Especially when 2,000 miles from the box of cables, converters, and dongles at home.
