Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I’m finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It’s a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I’m happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

    Tbh, I think that’s the real next step. Some of these smaller user-oriented brands like S76, Star Labs, Framework, etc. will hopefully coordinate and start pushing ARM laptops a lot further. The power consumption benefits alone should be an excellent selling point.
