Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I’m finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It’s a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I’m happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

      Second hand / off-lease ThinkPads can’t be beat on value. Brand new, for equivalent models however… You’re goddamn right.
