Used a framework for the last years of my PhD and would very much recommend it! Now got a macbook from work and I have to say that I do prefer it but it also comes with a higher cost.. As I was no longer using my framework I turned it into my homeserver using this server kit: https://frame.work/be/en/products/framework-laptop-13-mainbo.... Any other laptop would have started gathering dust but my framework keeps being useful thanks to its modular design.
