Framework is my new thinkpad nowadays. Just saying
There hasn't been a decent one since the t440 and the only way to get that to a good standard was by modding the hell out of it.
The t61 was the last good one.
Framework is not quite at that quality but it's better than any other laptop made in the last 10 years.
Yup, the are awesome, I'm on my second decade of driving them, should be able to get another decade out of the supply.
Used a t480s for 5 years and it was awesome. And now my t14 gen3 is doing pretty fine as well. What are the issues you are running into?
Actually I may be getting the numbers wrong, it could be the t430 that I was thinking about. It's been rather a long time since I did any brain surgery on thinkpads.
