as a person who uses a framework 16, and deals with returned lease laptops as a job, people are overstating how “durable” thinkpads are.
of course image of course is a joke, but thinkpads advatage isnt necessarily durability, but how cheap replacement parts are because of how many are leased and eventually returned.
frameworks friction is cost and availability, but strength is ease of repair. lenovos is part availability and cost.





not the poster but gen 1 framework 13s has a cmos battery issue that when fully depleted, the laptop will not boot from off state because of how the recharge circuit was wired to the battery.
so if your laptop was in sleep for an extremely extended period of time, you wouldnt be able to turn it on without either replacing the cmos battery or soldering a single wire to fix it.
