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

Framework, any laptop that has good qubes support is fine in my book

Framework is also extremely expensive compared to ThinkPad.

Huh? Do you compare to a new thinkpad or used? Because new ones are not that cheap.

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.
