     I often get asked about what brand I recommend for a new workstation or laptop. My usual answer was “something like a Tuxedo or Framework” until I bought a used T480 for my son. It would still meet most of my mobile needs. Now, I recommend buying a refurbished computer. Reusing is superior to buying even the most sustainable and repairable new machine. Less cost and no additional resources used (maybe a new battery). Be honest, how often does your work require a cutting-edge machine?
