My sweet spot is the Wooking X16 - 7840HS/8845HS from taobao in China for ~500usd bad trackpad, bad touchpad (bring your own for both), great thermals/performance, good screen, bad speakers, unbeatable value no usb4 (but has 1x usbc) I refused to get another thinkpad ever since the T14 AMD gen1 firmware debacle where plugging in a Dell usbc dock would cause the entire device to hard reboot their firmware garbage is off-putting I considered framework but the $2k+ price point to me was unreasonable it's literally cheaper for me to carry around the X16 + kb + mouse/trackpad than to buy a framework 16 (I know that's not the point, but still) https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1076401 https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1076401
