Framework laptop with a ThinkPad keyboard
I heard that in a recent video from Framework as well. I don't know why they need such a tight gap. Lenovo managed, so did Dell, HP and even Sony when they were still using TrackPoint's. It certainly hasn't been an issue in a combined 5 years of recent Thinkpad usage (P53 for work, P14s Gen3 and the

On my hands and knees, begging somebody to just tell me which ThinkPad model to buy.
Yeah for sure! On background, the reason I keep mentioning Dells is because, especially if you're looking at used machines, they tend to be a little bit of a better deal. Dell's new store is also slightly easier to navigate and their pricing is clearer, I personally find. This becomes truer the newe

Help me (&wife) consider, How strong is your thinkpad? How long does it last?
When it was overheating while gaming I used it to keep my tea warm. Took it with random stuff in a bag at rush hours regularly.

P53 is worth it
Let me put it this way: P53 should be sufficiently fast for the vast majority of engineering projects to be conducted on your personal machine; for anything that requires more computing power, you will most likely have access to a company/school workstation. Importantly, P53 is the last solidly buil

laptop questions
I would suggest a used business class laptop. You can get them significantly cheaper than new and they'll run most games and software. The Lenovo Thinkpad P53, for example, has a graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro series) so it'll run games. The quado series is more for AutoCAD and rendering, but it'll ru
