As much as I love the idea of the @framework laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'd truly get any benefit at this point in time. :sadness:

I went from a T480 to an 11th gen Framework and while I appreciate the upgradable design and better portability, honestly, I could have easily continued to use that Thinkpad as my main machine. If you don't need the upgrade, save your money and drive that T480 into the ground. It's a fantastic machine, as is the Framework.

@bolapara yeah, I plan to use this thing all up. I had one before and sold it at the height of the pandemic. Picked up another cheap with Thunderbolt issues, fixed it and trucking solid with it. It just has so much expandability.
