• MacBook Air M4

  M series is amazing.

  If you don’t want Apple, or you want to upgrade, check out Frameworks. [1]

  Really satisfying combination of quality and value for high performance laptops.

• Framework's first desktop is a strange–but unique–mini ITX gaming PC

  you're right but loading the front page at http://frame.work shouldn't incur the "build your own" hit.

  e-commerce is hard. that's why we get paid so well. finding a smart teenager that you're uncle knows to setup some bullshit for $15/hr vs hiring a senior SRE at $100+/hr, when it directly leads to lost sales is a choice.

• Ask HN: Recommendations for a Linux Distro and Laptop?

  Assuming you're in the US, System76[0] and Framework[1] both make laptops that support Linux as a first-class OS.

  I tried both and ended up preferring Framework. I especially like that they're repairable.

  I bought the DIY version of Framework worried I'd hate building it, but it was super easy to put together. You're only putting together a few pieces, not the entire laptop. It ended up being one of the best unboxing experiences of my life.

• I will never need to buy a new computer again

  I agree with you about no need. However, speed increases for some goals such as tensors can be massive with more RAM, a faster CPU, and better GPU.

  Do you know about the Framework laptop? https://frame.work/

  The laptop lets you swap in and out parts as you wish, such as more RAM, different ports, a CPU upgrade, a GPU extension, and even a screen upgrade.

  Have you considered a Framework laptop? They have 13-inch and 16-inch models and are designed to be upgraded.

• well... thinkpads are awesome

  Another brand named Framework are actually doing great progress towards a greener future with their although slightly costly yet perfectly modern, medium to high-end laptops that have iFixit score of literal 10/10, almost as if these new frameworks are advancing and carrying forward the original ThinkPad legacy.

• Ask HN: What are your favorite DIY kits?

  I bought a Framework 13 DIY Edition [1] a few years ago have been using that as my main personal laptop since then. Recently, I had to make some repairs due to an accident and it's awesome that all the parts are available still.

  I also loved building my Prusa printer. That took much longer to build (like probably 5 hours for me). But it was really cool to learn all the parts and feel really comfortable with how it works.
