Laptop for Simon #565

Description

Context

@SimonLab's laptop - that he uses for work-work every day - is falling apart; literally! 💻 💀 💔
As the longest-serving and most valued member of our team, we want to buy him a new one.

Framework ?

He has mentioned liking the Framework laptop:

Maxing out the config comes to $2,048.

There is only one keyboard option available right now: US English

And the Power Adapter is US/Canada ... could be worth researching a compatible UK/EU version.

If I were configuring this for myself these are the Expansion Cards I would chose:

  • 2 x USB-A
  • 1 x USB-C
  • 1 x HDMI

Todo by @SimonLab

Please either:

  • Confirm this is the laptop you want

or If you prefer a different laptop

  • please share links to alternatives.

With shipping and import taxes it will probably come to $2,500 (£2,000). So please work with that budget in mind.
(please don't be "frugal", this is meant to last you at least 3 years, it's on us and it's yours to keep)

Keen to get this ordered and sent to you ASAP so you can use it!
