Hmph, getting really close to it being necessary for me to replace my old laptop (currently it can only be used hooked up to a monitor and keyboard. 🙃) and I just... have literally no idea of what I'd replace it with.

ThinkPads seem to just get worse and worse in build quality, Framework is a no-go (both for moral reasons and because being limited to having like 4 ports on my laptop is fucking ridiculous), the last time I used a Dell laptop I actively hated its keyboard and their trackpoint implementation... (To be fair though, that was around a decade ago, so they could've improved since then.)
