@lonseidman I miss when dynamism.com sold imported Japanese laptops. They had some really interesting gear... I ordered a Japanese Sony Picturebook from them once.

@lonseidman There’s #Clevo who builds a full line-up of models with these specifications - matter of fact, my current computer is a NJ70MU, 11-gen Intel, VGA, DVD, DDR4, PCI-E 4.0, 17” display + upgradability/repairability like no other brand on the whole computer hardware business except for #Framework
