A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.

Since 2005 I make documentaries, write books, and enable many trade-free platforms for everyone.

I found another candidate for my future laptop TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 16 - Gen7

Super powerful processor, 16inch thin bezels display (smaller factor), ability to order without storage so I can buy it cheaply somewhere else, ability to choose between integrated GPU or dedicated, and seems very well built. All metal. Easy to replace the ram, storage, and battery.

Still super expensive but maybe I'll manage to save some money and I may do a donation campaign since 90% of my computer use is for TROM anyway :P - and a new one will help me be "mobile" and when I'll move next year. Anyway, I will stop with this obsession for now, and will get back to TROM II.

Basically so far it is either:
- Framework: very expensive for what hardware provides, the screen is t

I've looked at that model too :smiling face with hearts: Good choice! Looks like a very solid device, not of the same level of modularity as the Framework laptop, but at least there are two slots of RAM, 2 slots for SDD to expand if necessary. No soldered RAM, SSD or any other bullshit, which happens to the laptops these days.. I would like to see AMD recent CPU+GPU more for these beasts though, but they are still outcompeted by Intel+NVIDIA.

I've heard tho that it has a plastic bezel on the front of the screen and it peels off at times.... :( - I want it all metal goddammit. :D - Yeah Framework is still tempting for me for how awesome it is in terms of repairability....idk what I'll choose in the end. But there are a few options for now at least.
