Downsides: Price. Intel.

I've had the former and and been quite happy

Which gen?

11 and I think 8

You can pickup great, used/refurbished X1s on eBay and Amazon for $500–600.

Having a look thanks. Minimum Gen?

You bet. I snagged an 8th gen for $315, intending to use it as a testing ground for moving from Mac to Linux. Turns out, it's really impressive. But it's not my primary machine.

I'm guessing you'll want a 10th gen or newer.

Framework, System76 could be options as well.

Reminded me. You were looking into this stuff nostr:npub1cn670f663n3ks02jnnlsvd5y88zjnefy8343ykaxs7y3nzzketrsrjwt8a ?

Yep, I switch to Framework and haven't look back since.
