    Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.

    Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?

    Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.

      I’m not that familiar with newer ThinkPads as I only ever used a L540 and a T420, but can’t you just replace the trackpad or keyboard if it breaks?

      I got a framework, which is built around quality parts, repairability, and upgradeability. Theoretically it’s the last laptop I will ever buy.

        I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.

          No complaints so far! What did the reviews say? I’m using a 16 with the graphics module.

      It’s not hard, but the more laptop lasts, the longer it will take before you buy a new one.
