techbro gear consists of techbro phone (any nothing phone) and techbro laptop (framework)

@jeder As a fresh Framework user: it's technically almost the complete opposite of a techbro laptop (except the vaguely-MBP-inspired look like almost any modern laptop), tbh, it feels more like a hybrid of a modern Dell Latitude (overall feeling outside) crossed with a Thinkpad T6x (engineering inside)

@TadeusTaD for me the fact of linusabusetips having a stake in there makes it a techbro laptop, i can't stand him at all

@jeder @TadeusTaD me neither but it isnt really a techbro laptop imo

a bit on the pricey side, sure, and with questionable design choices, but still very niche

if it were a techbro thing youd see it everywhere but ill be real with you chief i have barely seen them brought up anywhere nowadays

@jeder I mean, even Linus has valid opinions once in a while, and I feel indifferent to him backing this initiative, tbh - it's his money, and his opinion - not that it influenced me in any way

I simply searched for a laptop that would tick off as much from my wishlist as possible while not being an unholy abomination of modern tech and 20-year-old ideals
cough whatever 51nb does cough

@TadeusTaD idk for me there's no good laptop, there's this abomination of "free" choice and """"""repairability"""""", and then there's apple silicon or some fucking thinkpad with shit battery life

@jeder well, I mean, everything has its tradeoffs, but the fact I can get every part of Framework disassembled using included single-bit screwdriver is a nice touch to me in the world of glue, plastic clips and 2137 screws coming in 5 sizes

@jeder eh, Framework isn’t actually bad, at least when compared to modern ThinkPads - and it’s still relatively cheaper than MacBooks if you want beefier spec (RAM, storage)

Unless I’m missing something lol
