I hate picking a new laptop. My last pick I went ultra-cheap and now I have a machine that can't really open VS Code without having a heart attack.
Anxiety about ports, screens, and power are making me start thinking the Framework 13 is now my best option. I have spare SSDs and power bricks so I think I can get one of those nice new AMD ones for about $1,000. I can also find a nice Thinkpad T14s for a little more but it just makes me nervous. Not crazy about being unable to upgrade the RAM later on.

Does anyone have a FW13? I don't need to be super trendy but I think the ability to change my mind about individual components later on would do my brain good in the long run.

Can someone with wisdom please give me a sanity check on this Thinkpad P14s? It looks like a good deal to me - RAM, current gen, AMD, etc - but I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious. Don't need a super computer, just something that will last a few years and has a decent battery. I posted in January about possibly getting a Framework but ultimately elected not to.

Thanks, I think I'll pick it up then. I did see that deal for the OLED version but I got scared off by reports I saw about the battery life. I'm sure it's fine but at a thousand dollars I am a little more discerning about details.
