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
