Here I am considering to purchase a newer used Thinkpad than my latest (X1 Carbon G7) and suddenly they release the most repairable laptop of the decade?

I wasn’t under the impression Framework was doing the kind of numbers that would have the big players concerned.

They aren't. I think it's largely the EU's repairability mandates. That or general consumer pressure.

Yep. It's the EU starting to mandate some basics. What Lenovo have done in the T14 goes way beyond those though

Didn't know about that. EU consumer tech policy developments can give me such whiplash sometimes.
