Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

I've watched the X1 Carbon line similarly nosedive from great, to decent, to self-immolating. Now I'm really not sure what to try next.

Hows the build quality with framework laptops? I fear that making it so modular might have required engineering tradeoffs with regard to build quality and endurance.

Worse than the IBM thinkpads, on par with early lenovo thinkpads, better than 2020 think pads (which is the last time I used one).

I got one in March 2022 and it's still kicking. Had to replace the heat sink and the keyboard this year. The support is kinda slow on the response, but the hardware itself is pretty nice.
