I bought a Lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon from a business closeout dealer or whatever for $150 is the greatest computer purchase I have ever made. It’s running Linux now, and I upgraded it with a 2tb ssd, and its tiny and fast, 16gb ram, hd display and fantastic keyboard.
I love the idea of the framework and they seem awesome, but when such a cheap option exists it is hard to justify to insane price tag. Desktop will only be worse I would imagine.
I have a x1 carbon gen 9. Be very careful with the USB-C ports. I leave mine on my desk and my hub kept cutting in and out while using it and its gotten worse over time. I’ve seen others with similar issues and it seems like the fix is to solder on a new port. Its a work laptop so I just deal with it.
