    The real thing to consider here is upgradability. Thinkpads are pretty OK to repair but no upgrades. For that I’d consider Framework.

    Unfortunately I don’t want an x86 laptop. x86 desktops only beat apple silicon laptops when GPU becomes involved, x86 laptops are nowhere near as good as apple silicon laptops.

        ARM is still extremely fragmented.

        When there are ARM vendors selling SystemReady at SR levels for a similar price to x86, it will be at the point it could take over

        RISC-V RVA22 is interesting, but not a lot of options yet, either

          The Ampere CPUs are nice. They have lots of cores running at a high clock speed, lots of PCIe lanes and socketed ECC RAM.
