I bought a Thinkpad specifically because they're built to be easy to upgrade and repair. They're aimed at corporations, so the IT managers value that ability. I've upgraded the RAM and installed an extra hard drive. I'm probably going to fix or replace the CD drive in the future, since someone damaged it and it only opens with the paperclip method now.

Everything I'm reading about Framework laptops sounds great! When I need a new one they'll definitely be on my list.
