   So, what I'm getting from this answer is “🤷♂️ Framework is probably the best, but that won't stop me from complaining about it.”

   I have a 15-year-old laptop. It is painfully slow. It requires a proprietary charger. The spinning-metal drive will probably have a head crash if I ever drop it. The battery lasts about 12 seconds. It's theoretically repairable except nobody manufactures replacement parts so in practice good luck with that.

   In what way would a Framework be worse than that?

     @argv_minus_one reject modernity, embrace 15 year old computers
     
     apart from that the panasonic let's notes seem nice, the toughbooks are probably easier to come by though

     literally anyone: says 'framework'
     
     me: 'hi, just here to let you know framework laptops are utter trash donglebooks that fix exactly one of the dozens of problems that plague modern laptops that you've fallen for the marketing for'
