We’re excited to announce the new Framework Laptop 16, now with AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series processors and a graphics upgrade to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 Laptop GPU!
There is no Thinkpad as repairable as the framework and if they are (they’re not) the price is out of reach for individuals since the p51 with LPCAMM2 targets enterprise costumers.
Your brain is wrong on this one. Follow your heart
After getting a used thinkpad and being really surprised by the build quality and keyboard that’s the route I’ve decided to stick with over buying new laptops.
My experience with Framework is exactly one unit, but I would disagree with this. The Thinkpads I’ve used all felt more plastic-y and less sturdy than my Framework. The keyboard did feel cheaper until I wore the powdery texture off of the keycaps (took about a week), at which point it felt amazing.
My experience is a Framework 16 I dont personally own, however I do have a T440p and build quality simply seems superior. I vastly prefer a durable and hard plastic above a thin mental sheet that bends.
I’d say it depends on your needs and budget
Framework has a higher build Quality and a bit loser prices but if this isn’t a Problem for you, go for it. Great repairability and replacebility is awesome!
So what’s the hivemind consensus fellow lemmings, framework or thinkpad? My brain says lenovo but my heart says

Framework is more repairable but Thinkpads simply have superior build quality with less issues.

I get it. In my opinion being made of plastic isn’t as bad as feeling plastic-y, but I realize that’s a personal thing
Thinkpads are not what they once were. I finally gave up on them, moved over to a Framework, and haven’t regretted it.
