im looking into replacing my current x230 and framework laptop with an old thinkpad.

my requirements are: great linux support, compact (as much it can), alum or metallic body.

good to have: boxy look, model after 2018, coreboot/libreboot (i doubt new models are supported but one can dream)

does this thing exists?

There are a bunch on computers.woot.com and I've been looking at some, e.g. x370 or x13 yoga. I know a guy who returned a framework. Idr the exact issues but it sounded unfinished at the time. I've been wondering about recent ideapads. Awesome specs and they supposedly run Linux ok, but to now I've stayed with thinkpads.

What's wrong with your current machines?

Maybe look at some Dells?

the x230 is great but the plastics are crumbling so I thought it is a good chance to get something with a better screen.

the framework feels cheap, even though it costs a lot, Im pretty sure it wont last for as long I bought it to last without the need for replacement parts.
