As much as I love the idea of the @framework laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'd truly get any benefit at this point in time. :sadness:

The main feature of the framework laptop is that it's more maintainable and and sustainable. If your current laptop is fine then neither of those matter and using your current laptop is the most sustainable option.

I went from a T480 to an 11th gen Framework and while I appreciate the upgradable design and better portability, honestly, I could have easily continued to use that Thinkpad as my main machine. If you don't need the upgrade, save your money and drive that T480 into the ground. It's a fantastic machine, as is the Framework.

The nice thing is that they're established. When your t480 breaks you have a reasonable option (I don't believe the newer Lenovos have the same spirit).
