Is this a joke? Framework as a work laptop?
Then what’s it for? Looking pretty?
Business laptops (at least at the enterprise end - SMB is a crapshoot) are typically backed by better warranties, guaranteed parts availability for a period, trade a more robust build for worse looks, have management features like PXE boot, and (historically) ports for docks. They're also more likely to have compliance-driven features like fingerprint scanners, and are frequently more repairable.

I am aware. I just assumed that since there’s not an IT department offering/mandating any particular option then it’s more of a prosumer type of situation. Both of my recommendations are a good fit. They both have good parts availability, an array of ports for peripherals, and Lenovo will provide next day service at your home or office with their premium support plans.
