A laptop you can upgrade the parts of instead of buying a whole new laptop? Sounds pretty cool. Did I dream it up or is this a real thing?

      A friend told me about those maybe 4 years ago. We both dismissed them at the moment, I because of the lack of discrete graphics cards, they because it was still too pricey and not customizable enough. The price looks about the same but there's now an option for a discrete graphics card and a bunch of other things now so maybe both of our issues have been solved.

        The only thing I know about them is that Linus of LTT invested heavily into them and he's a total shitbag. But they do look cool and I don't have any real reason to believe they'll be shit other than LTTs involvement

        Other people have talked about them but I have a 13 and love it. It's not perfect by a long stretch but it's very repairable, they've done well with their commitment to upgradability, and it's by far the best Linux support I've ever had, not that I have tons of experience with that
