sure, but everyone will drop something once or twice. and if you're someone who wants to get 5+ years out of the laptop, and potentially have it last beyond your own use to be used second hand, something that won't break when dropped would be pretty nice. I really appreciate my T530 which I bought 2-3 years ago, when it was already a 10 year old machine. sure the thinkpads are a bit overkill, but a sturdier plastic frame would help. also, to be honest, i enjoy the aestethic
is this a meme
im interested in that too but ill probably end up going with the zero just cause raspberry pi seems a little more established. so many cool things to choose from!
The zero is a little cheaper, and I wanted to try making games that would run on it and eventually make a game console thing out of it. Part of the challenge is the lower spec i guess. If it's got more power than the n64 its good enough for me!
Yeah, thats sorta what I figured. It is marginally cheaper, and hopefully it won't be as affected by the current market? either way it'll probably be fun to play around with and similar enough to the zero 2W that i could experiment with it for a bit and switch over when the 2W comes back in stock. I certainly dont need the processing power, I basically just wanted to load some minimal linux OS, and try to play low spec games on it. thanks for the heads up
yeah im all for thinkpads I just want the future generations to have that same thing. meaning we need there to be new durable laptops releasing now so that there's a legacy for later
I didn't even know about that, I just thought it was a 12 inch lol. man I wish I'd gotten that instead of the 13, maybe I'll sell. the touchscreen/stylus thing is kinda weird but cool. That computer without the touchscreen & 360 flex thing would be perfect
I could almost do that but its nice to have a keyboard on the train/when I'm using the laptop "in my lap". but honestly i could just lay my external on top. also part of me would be timid having a no keyboard in case my external broke/got lost/stolen etc. if someone comes out with an equivalent to the logi mx keys with a trackpoint i would be so all over that
I hadn't thought of that, I mean it's not like I have a 3D printer or know how to do that but it would be awesome if people started doing third party shells. Could at least make the design and have one printed somewhere I guess edit: oh, the keyboard might be tough though. might be weird to have plastic shell with aluminum keypad
I'm curious how many people would prefer a more durable/thinkpad-like framework laptop. I get they're trying to go for the more popular/mainstream light/thin/pretty design but man I still like using my T530 over my FW13. I've seen posts like "set my bag down a little too fast and bent/had to replace my hinge" and whatever. i still think the Framework is the best laptop currently being made and would still recommend it and do recommend it to my friends. Obviously some people like the weight and see it as worth the trade-off. but dang i wish there were a beefier one, I dont think we're going to see "framework on the international space station" posts at this rate.
