12 Years ago I had a Sony Vaio. I quite liked it. Then in my next job, 2017 or so, I went for a Toshiba Portege, and absolutely loved it.
Guess what the above two have in common? Yup, they stopped making laptops for the professional market. So now I’m a bit at a loss. Any recommendations?
Requirements:
- Lightweight and easy to carry around.
- 13-15" display, preferably
- Decent battery life
- It absolutely must have an RJ45
- Works well with linux
- Good keyboard quality
- ISO keyboard availability
- Touchpad. Bonus points if it has the touchpad buttons ABOVE the pad itself.
Yeah but it isn’t exactly ideal to have to fully stop operations when something goes down, especially given the opportunity to solve things within 10 min.
I suppose this would be even greater benefit to smaller town/out of city center businesses, but still framework is a company, so they do go through their own quality testing
You can buy a 2nd spare laptop for the price of a framework.
Lenovo posts their compatibility with each windows release. They also provide specific driver packages to use.
They also have tools to remotely test and troubleshoot hardware issues, online and offline.
I’d love to have a framework and I support the idea they have for multiple reasons, but it’s not a legitimate business device yet.
Shit I’d love to see where youre finding a laptop with comparable specs at $750, I’ll probably pick one up
