I honestly still like Thinkpad. Using a T14s currently.

so honestly, who would you use now? I’d never buy HP, Acer, Lenovo. total crap machines. what other brands of laptop are any good going into 2025/2026? The XPS was always my go-to but now what options are remaining?

I love my framework, though it’s not as small and battery efficient as my previous xps 13

Dell XPS and Lenovo X1 Carbon are the best laptops for running Linux. I currently have an AMD Framework and, while it’s nice that it’s repairable, Linux support is crap compared to the XPS and X1. I was actually looking into selling this junk Framework laptop and buying an X1 Carbon.

What don’t you like about your Framework? I haven’t noticed anything wrong with mine, but haven’t had it long.

At this point I build my desktops and I’ll buy Framework laptops.

As I work with HP and HPE at work:
Just don’t buy anything below ProBook and EliteBook. They are trash.
In fact, don’t buy anything you see at an electronic retailer without looking and inspecting the product very intensely.
And buy the business-line. They are usually better than consumer product lines.
