    yeah, my company recently switched away from dell to Framework laptops. a couple of my coworkers with the Framework laptops really like them. They like how sturdy they are. The magnesium alloy case doesn’t flex at all. Our dell laptops with plastic cases often get dented and bent so eastily, and cause various problems.

    We also have a couple Lenovo laptops, and I haven’t heard of any issues. Generally, the plastic used for Lenovo’s cases are noticeably thicker and harder than dells’.

    I definitely feel a sense of ease knowing that if anything goes wrong with our framework laptops, I will most likely be able to fix it.

      My work’s Latitude barely flexes, apples to apples?

        We’ve been buying the Vostro series and XPS series.

        I know the Vostro series is low end, but I thought the XPS series would be higher quality, but they had cases that fllexed just as much as the lower end Vostro.

        TBH, we have not been buying Latitudes because they did not have the specs we were looking for. If recall correctly, yeah, the Latitudes we did have stood up fairly well.

      That’s awesome, but what issues did they have with dell? They’re pretty easy to disassemble and repair if you don’t buy the cheap consumer shit, get latitudes. But I’m all for straying away for framework.
