ME: My laptop is dying. I have kept it alive for seven years but it's starting to have weird component failures, I think the motherboard is finally failing. It is time to let you go, friend. Alright, The Internet, what laptop should I get?
EVERY DIPSHIT ASSHOLE REVIEW SITE: An M1 Mac!
ME: Haha what if I murdered you and planted your head on a pike in front of my house.

as always, the refurbished Thinkpad T-Series/Latitude/Elitebook leads the pack by a mile
it sucks so bad, if the USB-C charging port on your MB fails you might as well just replace the whole board. those connectors are a BITCH to resolder, good luck finding a shop willing to even try.
I would avoid anything that is an enterprise model. Those things are designed to age out after about two years, and tend to suffer from swollen batteries. Refurbs of them do tend to be pretty cheap from what I understand.
Yeah, I am unfortunately familiar. I have a bulk purchase work laptop and it's absolute dogshit
I've had quite the opposite experience; last laptop I had was an old Latitude that lasted eight or nine years, battery needed to be replaced after around seven. Currently on a refurb Thinkpad that's going strong three years in.
edit: that's not to say all "enterprise" laptops are good lol — Lenovo, Dell, and HP each have two lines of "business grade" laptops: the ones you accidentally buy (Thinkpad E-Series/Vostro/ProBook) and the ones you actually want (Thinkpad T-Series/Latitude/EliteBook).

You've probably heard the Framework schpiel by now, but I really love mine. As far from Apple as you can really get
mostly I'm drooling over apple silicon, we should have left x86 behind before I learned to walk. better late than never I guess?
wrt framework, I love what they're trying to do but man those are expensive machines. I get that building things to last and be repairable isn't cheap, but you can buy similarly specced computers for like half the price.
I'm desperately hoping Framework puts out an ARM mainboard someday, maybe one of those Qualcomm laptop chips Lenovo uses.
I think I paid about CA$1100 for my framework, and in my head 1k is just What Laptop Costs. I saved a bit of money by supplying my own RAM and SSD. But I'm hoping it's more of an investment over time
