It's predecessor, the 4! When I was looking for a laptop some years ago I was looking at Framework, but the price to performance was a bit steep, so I went with an older model Asus F15 gaming laptop (after wiping and reinstalling of my previous laptop to give to my brother who has less need of performane).

Edit: does the 5 still have the camera issue where colours can be off?
