My old laptop's replacement battery has attempted a self-ignition. I think it's time to start saving up for a new laptop. I'd love to have a #Framework 16. I just don't know if I can stand having a CPU with "AI" in it's name. A real mobile workstation would be sweet though. My current laptop can't play 4K video smoothly, lol.
It's possible if the #SteamFrame comes out first I might crack and get it instead. Running #ArchLinux on my face sounds like the apex.

@unfa - the first gen Framework 16 did not have AI in the name and is still pretty sweet. If you're coming from such an old daily driver, maybe get that as refurb or seconds...

@axel_hartmann Right, that is an option! I am tempted to go for the most powerful platform so it lasts me the longest. I can add RAM and storage later but replacing the mobile with CPU seems a bit wasteful (I am not using the old motherboard anymore).

@unfa - that's the thing with the Framework - you can in fact just exchange the mainboard later - something not an option with most other systems. (I'm pretty sure - maybe best to verify)
