Have you considered System76?

Another one i found interesting is the framework laptop. Its completely modular.

And apparently their firmware is opensource.

That said if you are looking to play games or have a dedicated graphics card your options will be severely limited.

View on HN

Depends on the games I suppose. The games I like (CS, sleeping dogs, cities skylines) all run spectacularly on a Ryzen 3 desktop (not System76)

Well, I haven't actually tried the last one since I added more RAM, but I imagine it would work well too.

Hi. OP here. I read some of the previous HN threads on System76 and just laptops generally and it seems like these won't be a good fit for me now. Maybe later when both products are a bit more mature.

Yeah understandable.

We all have our own requirements that change up our own decision.

For example i CANT stand large laptops. 12.5-14" is my max. That excludes a lot of options though.
