Dear random strangers,

I have bought Thinkpad T for many years following your advice. Then I moved to Dell Latitude 3 years ago as this was your recommendation. So far, very happy with them!

Where should I go for my next laptop? Is it time for framework?

(I'm looking for 14" business laptops, excellent screen, good audio, light and solid, performance is a nice-to-have, Linux-only)

Don't get a framework. It's a gimmicky waste of money.

Why exactly do you need a new laptop, anyways? Have your hardware requirements really increased that much in 3 years to warrant looking for a new device?

Why do you say that about the framework?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Because it's overpriced. You can get better hardware for lower prices.

The framework laptop only exists to take money from people who don't know any better and want to feel 1337.
