I just preordered a Framework 16 inch because their concept is amazing and early reviews are pretty good. It's a laptop where every part is replaceable and upgradable. You can replace/upgrade the motherboard/CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, keyboard, display, etc. all yourself, and they sell the parts separately. Even the ports on the sides are swappable - you can choose to make them all USB-C ports, or make any of them USB-A, 3.5mm audio, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, DisplayPort, HDMI, MicroSD reader, etc.

They have a 13 inch version that's already shipping today... The 16 inch is a preorder to ship Q2 2024. Their newer ones use an AMD CPU and AMD graphics which should work better on Linux than Nvidia graphics.

More expensive than a regular laptop company though... They don't have the scale that Dell, Lenovo, etc have so parts are more expensive for them (plus large R&D costs).
