I've started looking at the Frameworks....Linux seems really made for thinkpads. They seem to be super popular. I can't really do craptops. I've got a side project to build my own portable, but the need/use isn't really there, so I put it off.
Order a Framework Laptop 13 with AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series
Framework Laptop: A thin, light, high-performance notebook that's customizable, upgradeable, and repairable. Order now for the latest AMD processors.
Seems to be the most DIY friendly laptop. Including a full on "Bring your own OS, storage, memory, whatever" model. Drawback, the build out I want buying the drive, memory from them will be around $2600. And won't ship for 6 months.
Right now I'm working off my backup which is a 10 year old Dell XSP with 8G of ram. I can survive on this, but it is definitely showing it's age.
