Laptops with good build quality, I mean the type of build quality Thinkpads used to have

Honestly, Tuxedo Computers and Framework I think do that.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

They do it in comparison to other laptops released today but cannot compete with older Thinkpads. Ive held and personally seen a Framework 16 (arguably their laptop with the best build quality) and I can tell that it has some massive sacrifices. Its not as durable and not built as well most likely due to manufacturing issues, in addition its clearly trying to be somewhat slim which im not a fan of. Im not sure about Tuxedo because theyre basically a German first brand (granted you could technically get it imported but you have to pay over €100 in shipping and additional import fees/customs. Also im pretty sure it'll take significantly longer). Ok I just checked the build quality looks good (german engineering and manufacturing is famously good) and they sell some hefty laptops, obviously its sold at a very high premium.
