I have bought Thinkpad T for many years following your advice. Then I moved to Dell Latitude 3 years ago as this was your recommendation. So far, very happy with them!
Where should I go for my next laptop? Is it time for framework?
(I’m looking for 14" business laptops, excellent screen, good audio, light and solid, performance is a nice-to-have, Linux-only)
I have owned a Framework 13 AMD for about half a year and I have to say that it’s a bit overpriced for what it is. It’s probably a better idea to just get a similarily priced Windows laptop (like Asus Zenbook or Lenovo X1 Carbon / T-series) and install Linux on it.
It seems like every other PC Laptop has a problem whether it’s a Lenovo or Asus for example, my feedback on MSI has been good so far mostly based post-pandemic but things indeed can change if that’s your case. Do you have any preference of your own?
You’re right, all manufacturers have their issues. I have a hard time finding one where you feel like it’s a safe bet. Which is why I’m leaning toward framework, but the company is young and has far less experience, so it’s also a risk…

MSI seems rock solid.I would never again recommend MSI… I bought a 3000€ MSI Creator 3 years ago for work :
Reaplcing the keyboard requires a full body replacement, which costs like 300€ 🙃
I’ve also had some very bad experiences with a entry price gaming msi for someone in my family.

System76? They primarily sell Linux computers and also develop Pop!_OS and COSMIC DE.

Yea they seem nice, but they don’t I don’t think they sell laptops with AZERTY keyboards
I mean, if you really want one, you could change the keyboard manually.
