Are newer thinkpads worth it over the framework laptop? (feddit.cl)

The framework laptop promises to be an upgradeable and repairable laptop, not quite the same philosophy that makes thinkpads great, but I wonder if newer thinkpads are good enough to prefer over a framework.

Lenovo has shot itself on the head since 2018. Take a look at System76 Virgo laptop as well. It will have these features:

  • trackpoint mouse
  • Open source Coreboot bios
  • Hot swappable mechanical keyboard keys
  • Fully open source (including motherboard)
  • All the schematics in Github
  • Up and down arrows not splitted in half
