      As opposed to:

      1. Calling your neighbourhood tech bro with a nanoscale fab for a RISK-V CPU
      2. Sourcing laptop parts from nearby manufacturers providing full schematics
      3. Designing your own cooling setup to match all the component sizes
      4. Machining your own enclosure and assembling it al yourself

      We’re not there yet. I’m still dreaming.

        lenovo is legendary for pulling proprietary designs out of standards - meaning something as simple as your graohics card drivers are now beholden to how long lenovo supports the laptop and no further… what wifi adapter you put in, because slapping an intel card isn’t a thing you can do without the firmware going “ah NOPE you must have a genuine lenovo wifi adapter!” … and then there’s the soldiered on 4-8 GB RAM, which definitely won’t fail and require a whole mobo replacement…

      I dislike that they’re out of the CCP now too, but thinkpads are still some of the best big-name laptops out there these days, and their keyboards are absolutely the best in the business, bar none. The keyboards are the primary reason why I still buy them.
