If anyone you know is thinking of getting a new laptop, check its Repairability score here first: https://www.ifixit.com/repairability/laptop-scores#Laptop-Scores

So many modern laptops are built like disposable cameras of old.

I think iFixIt's ratings are 100% spot on, but maybe that's the Thinkpad fanboi in me... :D

I might splash out for a Framework when my current one dies...

I like my T420. I have no reason to replace it though I do need some new parts for it this year...

I have that one and the T450 as well.

Both great but T420 much better!

Running 24/7 since 2015....

I love the idea of those frameworks! I think it's an awesome concept. Bit out of my price range right now though 😅 but it should be a few year until I need a new laptop anyway so let's see how the economic situation changes between now and then 😉

My two issues with Frameworks right now are lack of Thinkpad X200-quality keyboard and lack of a trackpoint.

I never got into the track point... my work device has it but I find it less practical than a track pad 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess it's just what you're used to

I didnt run into the proprietary ram issues with those old macbooks.

Im really impressed how they run on Linux.
