Crippling flaws with the laptops people pretend to like:

Old thinkpads: shit battery life

New thinkpads: shit keyboards, shit upstream driver support

Pine64: flimsy case, bad performance, questionable freedom

System32: giant bulky things charged at twice the price of anything else

Librem: giant bulky things charged at three times the price of anything else

Dell XPS: absolutely godawful firmware, they should be strung up in the town square for it, crippling bugs in every inch of the machine

@sir X230 seems to be a sweet spot for me, but yes the battery life isn't as great as I'd like. (But then, neither is my work MacBook's.)

@jfred @sir big 9 cell battery is a decent option for old thinkpads, thats what I have in my x230 and the battery life is acceptable

@6a62 @sir True, but it makes the thing way heavier as well, and I use this machine in part because it's relatively small/light
