I feel you. On all my older laptops, the physical shell (around hinges specifically) is always what has died first.
Decided I would only go with a metal case after my old laptop's mobo died. Hesitated between a M1 and Framework but went with the Framework. It's sturdy and contrary to the M1, I'll be able to upgrade it (I could already if I wanted to actually). Maybe not the best performance per buck on the market but hey it's plenty enough, even for a dev, even for some gaming.
- jjice 3y agoI love my Framework 13. I've never had a non-work laptop with a metal chasis but I'm in heaven. 2.8 lbs too. Feels like those high quality machines I always envied in college when I was too cheap to buy a decent machine (which would have absolutely been worth it, looking back). Apple does have great build quality though. Having your machine _feel_ well built and sturdy really does feel good.
