I’m unemployed and my current laptop died. Is ThinkPad T480 still the goto and does it still work for software development? Thinking of getting a Framework but I don’t want to spend that much right now.

      Lenovo got caught putting a rootkit in their BIOS

      The model I mentioned supports coreboot though?

      HP has quality builds

      Lol I find that hard to believe

      They haven’t been IBM in almost 2 decades and they are still decent. Acer is absolute bottom of the barrel crap.

      I’d go Lenovo or Dell over HP. But I’d not recommend to get just anything from any of those brands, but to stick to the business model lines if you are buying used.
