> upgrade suggestions for someone who loved that laptop?

The repair-friendly [0] StarBook and StarFighter line might interest you. They generally seem good value for money and ship worldwide. Here's a 96g DDR5 + Intel Core Ultra 7 configuration at ~$2200: https://starlabs.systems/products/starbook-ultra?variant=552...

Their funder/backer is a mystery (to me) though.

Seconded. Coreboot and lvfs firmware upgrades and completely repairable with inventory parts.

Get an x1 carbon gen 13 (lunar lake version) for a general usable laptop. For clunkers/workstations that use desktop style CPUs, Dell still makes them and so does Lenovo. The Lenovo version is P16 Gen 3.

i'm also curious. i used that thing until last year.
