The framework laptop promises to be an upgradeable and repairable laptop, not quite the same philosophy that makes thinkpads great, but I wonder if newer thinkpads are good enough to prefer over a framework.

Lenovo has shot itself on the head since 2018. Take a look at System76 Virgo laptop as well. It will have these features:

  • trackpoint mouse
  • Open source Coreboot bios
  • Hot swappable mechanical keyboard keys
  • Fully open source (including motherboard)
  • All the schematics in Github
  • Up and down arrows not splitted in half
