A laptop you can upgrade the parts of instead of buying a whole new laptop? Sounds pretty cool. Did I dream it up or is this a real thing?

Yes! Are they good? They look cool as fuck. Maybe one day when I'm rich I'll get one.

The only thing I know about them is that Linus of LTT invested heavily into them and he's a total shitbag. But they do look cool and I don't have any real reason to believe they'll be shit other than LTTs involvement

all but the screen is great. they're still behind on them albeit they just released a new improved one; still not up to bar for me though but ymmw.

Alright what’s the tea on Linus being a shitbag beyond just being a west coast techbro? I used to watch ltt quite a bit but it’s been years now

Haven't the slightest. I am in the used Thinkpad demographic.

Other people have talked about them but I have a 13 and love it. It's not perfect by a long stretch but it's very repairable, they've done well with their commitment to upgradability, and it's by far the best Linux support I've ever had, not that I have tons of experience with that

A friend told me about those maybe 4 years ago. We both dismissed them at the moment, I because of the lack of discrete graphics cards, they because it was still too pricey and not customizable enough. The price looks about the same but there's now an option for a discrete graphics card and a bunch of other things now so maybe both of our issues have been solved.
