I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo.
With that in mind, any particular series of thinkpad (L, S, whatever) I should look for? I’m hardline against nvidia but is there a reason to pick AMD over Intel (or vice versa)? They both are privacy nightmares, right? And there is no “good alternative?”
Hey thanks, this outlet store thing may be just what I need! I wanted a framework but didn’t want to take out a second mortgage on my house! Lol that’s why I was considering Lenovo, black friday deals that I assume aren’t going to be on frameworks (but I’m still gonna check fri/mon) but are on the lenovos.
Correct. In the mission statement, Framework says they won’t be doing random sales, and prefer to keep prices consistent so customers know they are always getting the lowest price. I’m signed for an AMD 16", but those outlet prices are crazy good, so bought one of the 13" Intels as well to play with 😂
