Not trying to poopoo on anyone here, but it seems neat... But at double your budget it's just a neat toy. Can you afford that? If so, hell yes.
Otherwise you can find second hand laptops with great specs and upgrade that your self for cheaper.
I wish I could pull the trigger on one of these, but here I am just surfing eBay lol
Yeah got a 14" ThinkPad 8gen 16GB 512GB SSD for Under 200€. Lots of connectics too. It's crazy IMO.
I mean if OP got the money why not but economy wise nah there are better plans :-D
Where did you get your cheap Thinkpad?
On Leboncoin, a french site a bit like eBay, or Blocket if you're Swedish.
Merci, then. I'm from Germany but people use eBay and kleinanzeigen.de ("classified ads"/"petites annonces") here. I suppose you bought it used at that price? I'm faced with the same choices. My old Thinkpad is going to break down, soon. The Framework laptop looks very appealing, but a refurbished (newer than mine) Thinkpad would be nice, too. I even have a company that sells refurbished computers in my city. But they currently sell similar specs like you mentioned for around 300€ (and above). Thanks for the input. I'm going to wait until they do a sale or something catches my eye on eBay.
Sounds like the same type of site, and yeah I think I got lucky, I probably got twice the RAM and SSD for the price I paid.
Be patient (or chuck in some extra money) and you'll find one too I'm sure!
BTW you can buy different keyboards who are supposedly easy to change, if you find a non-German one.
