Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

TOTL: Top of the line.

I have been looking for a laptop with a new, TOTL chip under $1000. Till now Framework with their outlet store selling a 13 inch model with the Ryzen 7 7840U is the best I could find. I don’t really mind used laptops but they need to be repairable and upgradeable. I’m looking for laptops with the best CPUs from now going back to the last 2 years (I.E. Intel Core Ultra 9/AMD Ryzen 9 HX). I want maximum CPU performance possible in a laptop under $1000.

Any recommendations? I will bring my own memory and storage. I’m OK with both used and new but they need to be easy to repair

    Sorry but I don’t want a MacBook. I’ll run *nix on this laptop for my workloads.

    I see. The Framework 13 with Ryzen 9 HX 370 is about $1700 and the Ryzen 7 from the last generation is $900. I think both are priced a bit too expensive for a barebones device, even if they are super repairable. A $100-$200 reduction would be my ideal price for these laptops.

    Thanks for the comment.

      They are expensive but you have to account for the fact that they’ll theoretically last indefinitely.
