Hard agree
It’s no t420, but… it’ll do. sigh I guess.
bro get a w520 it’s almost the same but bigger and with a discrete gpu, and a fingerprint reader that works on linux.
I’d rather wait for the t1000 to come out.
I hear these suck. No battery life and bad cooling.
Mine is awesome
Battery life was shit at the start, but now it’s pretty reasonable. Can’t tell for sure what the difference is. I’m just starting to investigate again, after all the pre Christmas stress is over
They have their shortcomings but it’s all worth it to have pro-sumer hardware, in my opinion. I just can’t bear to give my money to consumer-hostile companies anymore.
True, that’s why I mostly buy used. I can’t see myself buying any electronic new except for important main computer or server parts
Buying used is not as bad but still supports the resale value of consumer-hostile devices, which indirectly supports their new value.
I buy from a local electronic recycler, I highly doubt there is any downside from them saving stuff from being thrown away
They wouldn’t save it from being thrown away if people like you weren’t buying them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say its bad, just that buying from consumer-friendly companies as new is still better, in my opinion.
They literally take apart the electronics and recycle all the valuable parts. Why’re you arguing with me over something you don’t understand?
I understand completely and I’m not arguing with you.
I don’t know if this was true at some point, but this is definitely a false statement today.
I have a Framework 16 w/o dGPU and it is perfect. It has long battery life, awesome performance, and has no thermal issues at all. Then there’s all the features which I don’t think I need to get into here. But I will call out support for lvfs/fwupdmgr; it’s great and in line with what I have seen with Dell and Lenovo.
This is my forever laptop
Good to know!
