Should I just get the Macbook or invest in a Framework laptop. I want a small laptop, ideally 13 inch. My dream laptop would run on Linux with a long battery life, but I hear framework laptops have shit webcameras and horrible battery life. Should I give up on the Linux laptop dream?
>invest in a depreciating assetI don't understand

>>10696484513-inch. I don't want to carry around a massive desktop-sized laptop, I travel a lot and have limited space to carry items.
>>106964838Time + productivity is in the investment. I understand English isn't your first language so you think that I'm buying a stock of a Macbook.
>>106964776No clit, no buy.
>>106964776Just get the cheapst macbook air, it's better than this crap.
>>106964928That's what I was thinking. I love toying around on Linux, but I'm growing up and I need to focus on being productive and I need hardware that I don't have to spend countless of hours tinkering with and dealing with a shitty battery since my new job requires a lot of travel.
>>106964776Sadly yes. MacBooks have many flaws but their hardware typically isn't one. Windows is going to shit, I've been using Linux for almost 20 years now and I started off by dual booting on a hand-me-down laptop. If you really want to use Linux, then set up a vm at home that you can remote in to via a vpn and connect to it through a macbook. You'll have all the benefits of good build quality and great battery life without having to deal with the nonsense of mac os. Framework has a good mission but they're not there yet. It's still too pricey and personally I don't see how making everything super easy to disassemble, even at the cost of rigidity is a good thing. I'm going to wait till they're more refined but in the meantime I'll pick up a cheap macbook for any laptop needs
>>106964776Get yourself a intel macbook and install Linux on it. Solved /thread
>>106964876They make smaller business class laptops, anonWhat the other anon is trying to say is buy a slightly used business class laptop. You'll get a better product for cheaper
>>106964776buy a macbook pro from 2012 and put linux on it
>>106964776Yes. Anything and everything associated with Vaginus Sebastian in any way is automatically a meme.
>>106964776Get a System76 laptop instead. They are just as repairable and have better keyboard layouts.
>>106964776Got myself m4 air and did not regret. It is light (1.2kg or smt), battery usage is better than my corporate thinkpad. I am using it for office work, music production in Ableton, rekordbox, running small abliterated models, browsing etc.Just don't update it to Tahoe and you should be good.
>>106964776It has great battery life with Linux. Also it's the official choice of National Socialists
>>106964845>ThinkPadoverpriced, soldered RAM, Chinese, ctrl/FN swapped
>>106965431Isn't the company a tranny company?
>>106964776Yes.
>>106965468no
>>106965481Worse, the CEO and most of the top members are "first generation" Americans from San Fransisco. Aka jeets.
