I have one from 2022. It's pretty good.

Can't beat the value or quality of a used thinkpad and aren't significantly more powerful so as to justify the price.

Make one that you can slot a x220/t420 keyboard into and you'll see autists finally opening their wallets. That's literally all you have to do and the other shortcomings will be disregarded as irrelevant.

Wish they had more powerful GPUs.

Thinkpad is cheaper even if it's brand new.

Had a framework 13, thermal throttled like a piece of shit. Sold it to some basedboy who thought the ports were "really neat". Shit company.

>Thinkpad is cheaper even if it's brand new.
Lmao, you clearly haven't looked at ThinkPad prices in a while.

Framework 13 Pro is $1,599.00
T14 Gen 7 is $1,669.00
for the same specs:
Intel 5 325
16gb ram
512gb ssd
75Wh battery

but the T14 has a shitty 45% NTSC 1080p 400 nit 60Hz display, and the Framework has a 100% sRGB 2.8K 700 nit 120Hz display.

and the Framework has a full CNC body while the T14 has a shitty "magnesium" body that creaks.

i have a og framework, upgraded the mobo to the amd 350 when it came out. kind of want the pro but waiting a gen to see if the lpcamm sticks around

Lenovo has been using LPCAMM2 on their workstation laptops for 3 generations now, it's not going away.

ThinkPads never fully lower down and discharge themselves within a week

>>110060035
My T16 Gen 4 did but that's because of 'Always On USB' that I eventually turned off.
Standby power drain is mostly a software issue.

Jeets are Asians what you see in this picture ?
>>
>>110059940
At that price range a difference of $70 is meaningless. Framework still wins.

jeetslop, just get a thinkpad you retard.
>>
>>110059616
I like my normal 13 but I would be lying if I said I think the build quality, especially around the keyboard, is sub-par for the price that you pay. Maybe the Pro fixes that issue but I don't feel like spending $600 on one of those upgrade kits.
>>
>>110059616
I'd probably get one if I needed a laptop (I don't because laptops are gay)
>>
I have a Framework 13 (not Pro) and it's the best laptop I ever had
>>
>>110059616
i wanted 13 inch one for long time but prices in EU were crazy. I know i can repair it but 2x more for that vs Macbook Air and at the end u get worse performance, worse screen, worse keyboard and trackpad, worse build quality, worse battery life, worse speakers, worse headphone amp.
For me it looks like thing for performative people. I think I will stay with my old alienware laptop as windwos backup and Macbook Air as main device
>>
>>110059616
bullshit computers for retarded motherfuckers. every single one of any non-apple laptop kill themselves after a few years of usage. if you disagree you haven't bought enough computers.
>>
>>110061190
They all go shit because the battery degrades.
>>
>>110059940
the framework is 1799€ and the t14 g7 1582€ I would prefer the t14 because I know the hardware support is there while the framework will be a constant pain in the ass.
Anyway I wouldn't buy either its silly to spend that much on a laptop get a cheap one and connect to a real desktop pc.
>>
>>110059616
The port gimmick and the apparently shitawful screens are big turnoffs. Plus the price seems ridiculous for what's on offer.

>>110059616
One of the first things I noticed about this laptop is that LTT's review consistently incorrectly calls it "Framework Pro 13", so I decided that it sucks just based on that.
>>
>>110060173
I mean the company is basically based in Taiwan

I don't get the appeal, but if it's what you want to waste your money on it's your prerogative.

I can't take this company seriously

if I wanted to get a used thinkpad, what would be the intersection of most thinkpad-like (since I know some of the ones made by Lenovo feel different) while providing the most modern performance?
>>
retarded and overpriced until they do some real work and add coreboot support
>>
>>110064372
Go over to /tpg/ and ask. I think the most current recommended model is the T14 (or X13) Gen 2. Personally I like the Z13 but it's spendy and very thin/modern.

If performance and battery are lesser criteria versus old design ergonomics and typing experience, get a T420/T430/X220/X230.

For real niggas that want a portable typewriting potato that can barely cope with the modern internet, a T60/T60p/T61/T61p.

Touchpads are all trash. Trackpoint or external mouse.

Which bezel should I get?
I'm feeling orange but I'm worried it will get too distracting/fatiguing to look at.

Like on the keyboard itself or the palm rest? Both are bad but if it's the palm rest that's really bad.

The hall sensor is part of the headphone jack daughterboard.
My T14 G6 has the hall sensor as part of the webcam, which is a better location.
But I don't think it's bad or really matters desu.
If you're wearing a magnetic watchstrap, you're already going to scuff up the black anodized CNC chassis like a retard anyway.

>>110067105
Trackpoint is the least accurate pointing method. Back before you zoomzooms nuked touchpads, they were great. Good enough to win and keep 1st place in FPSs like CS 1.6. Then you ruined it with click niggery and removing buttons.
If you have the space and work surface for an external mouse, you should get a desktop, not a craptop at 10x normal prices.
