     @JauneBaguette Frameworks is a bit interesting but when I actually think about it:
     - Not that much more repairable, although schematics are nice to have
     - Still slim, so probably flimsy
     - Barely any ports, it's pretty much a tablet with inserts for adapters. As one that remembers laptops with bunch of ports + PCMCIA it's really weird.
     - Bit more focused on open-source
     - More expansive (I payed something like ~800€ for my T495)
     
     At the Framework budget I'd probably go for an MNT Reform instead but that one is a bit hard to bet on given ARM and possibly no spare parts if they shut-down (at least it seems very hackable/repairable).

     @lanodan "maybe next one will still be a thinkpad", why not try a Framework model?
