Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

Framework laptops are undeniably expensive. I say that as a happy owner of both the 13 and the 16. The value is not the appeal. To be honest, I don't even expect it to "pay for itself due to upgradability and repairability" like many people say.

More availability of refurbished mainboards should help over time, I guess.
