@jrose@social.belkadan.com @SmileyKeith@hachyderm.io Funny enough I got a framework 15 a few months before they got cancelled over that whole thing, it’s faster and lighter than the era-equivalent MacBook Pro but the screen, trackpad and camera are not as good, as you’d expect.
Since you mentioned you’d be happy with 2019 MacBook Pro performance though, perhaps a used ThinkPad would hit the spot, I believe they’re pretty repairable too. I think @joe@f.duriansoftware.com is our resident used ThinkPad expert

@slava@mathstodon.xyz @jrose@social.belkadan.com @SmileyKeith@hachyderm.io yeah thinkpads are good IME. every thinkpad I’ve tried has run Linux out of the box pretty much perfectly, and although they don’t do the consistent form factor thing framework does, Lenovo’s service manuals are easy to get and thoroughly detailed, and everything inside is easy to get at and replace with just a screwdriver
