Quote from: Pi-Qui on Yesterday at 21:15:50Since Apple crawls up the a** of pedophile Trump I will never buy a Apple made product ever again.

But what will you be buying then?

You do realize that every single Big tech CEO shook hands, bent the knee and gave money / gifts to Trump, right?

All of them. Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Lisa Su, Tim Cook, etc.

So if you adamantly really want to take this stance, you will have to literally boycott everything.

Framework will always be nothing other than a niche manufacturer. The world has spoken and it prefers smaller, lighter, thinner to easier self repair because modern laptops almost never need to be repaired.  The only time I've ever had to repair any of our half dozen MacBooks was because of a swelling battery.  I just took it to the apple store, cost me $200 for a new battery, and the MacBook is still running great a decade after I bought it.

That's what happens when you're the monopoly dGPU/AI accelerator maker. You're probably better off renting these days.

Ngl, so far this year has been a major disappointment.

The only thing I'm possibly left looking forward to is maybe the legion / yoga halo machines and the steam machine.

If the price and availability is just so out of wack for halo Lenovo's .. prob just go for a steam machine. Even if it's overpriced at around 1000 and a little underpowered. Just don't feel like paying 3000 for a laptop.

To be fair to them, considering literally every higher end x7 358h laptop with decent build quality and screen is like 2200+ minimum. That's not bad, considering spending a couple hundred more, nets you a more repairable/upgradable laptop.
