"A Gloriously Fixable Laptop, Pt. 2"
In which I continue my blubbering praise for the Framework laptops ...
... observing how folks who've owned an older model can, with trivial ease, put in a whole damn new processor to make it run faster
In like 15 minutes
This is how *all* laptops should be

@clive I have one of the early ones and have upgraded it a lot. When/if they or someone else makes a keyboard touchpad with physical mouse buttons, I'll use it more than anything else. Great machine and company.
So cool!
I would love to get one, but am waiting for my existing Linux laptop to die ... which might take some time, lol. It's a 12-year-old Lenovo T420 and those things are built like *tanks*
@clive @dangillmor T420, I suppose even more robust than my T430s! It’s not my daily, it’s experimental to explore Linux mostly. Keyboard is very nice. And I like eg how easy it is to change SSD on it.
