Hello tooters - I'm looking for a new #laptop. I used second-hand #thinkpad for years, but ran into problems replacing batteries on old models. Upgraded to a Dell #Inspiron 13 7380 a couple years ago, and they have already stopped making batteries for this particular model.

...

My needs are modest - 13" screen, runs linux, and can be maintained for 5 years. I don't mind replacing the battery every year or two, but not if it means buying refurbished from sketchy 'batteries-are-us' websites.

I'm considering a new or recently used thinkpad, but would be interested in hearing about the longevity of #system76 and #librem? Or any other user-maintainable/upgradable options.
