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

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 TOTL chips from now till the last 2 years (I.E. Intel Core Ultra 9/AMD Ryzen 9 HX).

Any recommendations? I would like to keep it under $1000 for the laptop without memory and storage.

        There is no “Top Of the Line” anymore. Everything has tradeoffs for their purposes. Maybe let us know what you want it to do.

        Framework will be the platform to beat 100% and without question. The Refurb prices are an insane deal.

          Thanks for the comment. I need the most CPU horsepower in a laptop that I can repair and find parts easily for under $1000. My projects need a lot of CPU power but I anticipate I’ll be moving around with it (I don’t care about the weight though, I’ll chuck it in a bag so that’s not an issue. Neither is battery life since I won’t be working on the go, just take the laptop to different locations).
