I went with Framework this time, I use linux so I love that if I have a problem with the wifi card on my laptop, I can just replace it
I tried so hard to live framework. Now I barely like them. Too many concessions, but the price just sucks. Of the four I bought for employees. Two have had serious issues.
I love that they have way less thermal throttling than the X1 I had before

I'm rocking a framework 13" intel 12th gen still and I love it. The only issue I had was being part of the few that got a batch of bad hinges. I didn't know there was a replacement program I could have used and just replaced them myself with the heavier hinge option. At this point I have every expansion port thing they offer and keep them in my bag. My laptop can have any I/O I want :) pretty cool.
Hmm, framework 13 and Linux… loves nothing more than to drain while off. I’m getting really annoyed by that

Not with Linux, typically. If you don't have drivers included in the kernel, it requires a lot of effort to get things working. I've done it many times, so now I will generally only buy laptops that have decent Linux support. [1] I've had the laptop for about two years now and it still runs just as well as the day I bought it. I'm very happy with it. [1] No I will not stick with Windows. Please feel free to read thro…
I've had linux on every laptop I've owned for years, and I haven't really had a problem with any of them running linux, except for display port support on a dell xps. Aside from that one dell laptop, though, I generally avoid HP and dell entirely, so perhaps that's why.
I never really figured out how to get the discrete card working consistently, and since then I haven't bought a laptop with an Nvidia card.
I've had issues with wifi cards and sound drivers and the like as well, though it's going a lot better now than it was a decade ago.
Not even an attempt to clear the ai smell out of this piece.
Nice very cool. Unfortunately, the blog post looks like it's been generated by an LLM. > Going from a high score to the highest score isn’t usually about making minor tweaks. It requires fighting for every small, boring, consequential decision—the ones that determine whether a repair isn’t merely possible or practical, but within easy reach.
No thanks. I don't like all their awful plastic. Make it from metal and glass.

I had al of these. The CPU is the weakest component here, and only T480 supports 32 GB RAM. (Typing this from a T14 gen 1.)
I've got a T480s that has 40GB of RAM (32GB SODIMM + 8GiB soldered). Works fine. Is the T480 different?

Yeah, I was shocked that a keyboard replacement of my company issued X1 is basically a full teardown. When it was time to replace my private laptop a year later, I opted for the L-series, which is much better in that regard and also much cheaper. Keyboard replacements are a pretty standard thing for me, because I don't like my local layout and if you limit yourself to buying with the layout you want, you can only go…

This commitment by Lenovo must have been driven by customer demand -- in this case, the IT departments. I wonder how much of that demand may be attributed to questions about comparisons to Framework. Even if Framework is not mainstream, it has mindshare among the IT-crowd.
