A chunky thinkpad-like framework (lemmy.ml)

I'm curious how many people would prefer a more durable/thinkpad-like framework laptop. I get they're trying to go for the more popular/mainstream light/thin/pretty design but man I still like using my T530 over my FW13. I've seen posts like "set my bag down a little too fast and bent/had to replace my hinge" and whatever. i still think the Framework is the best laptop currently being made and would still recommend it and do recommend it to my friends. Obviously some people like the weight and see it as worth the trade-off. but dang i wish there were a beefier one, I dont think we're going to see "framework on the international space station" posts at this rate.

I was never a thinkpad lover so I don't think it would make me want one. The only thing I want out of a portable is for it to be as thin and light as possible if I need power I'll just use my desktop. I would love to see a company especially framework to build an entire chassis out of carbon fiber with a fanless CPU.
