I was with you until 4:3. You should be locked up.

On a more serious note: Framework laptops. More repairable than the laptops of yore, minus the soldered CPUs which seem unavoidable in laptops now.

lol.

To rile you up a bit, I wish I could say it is a subjective thing but 4:3 is the better option for laptops.

More vertical screen estate, given one would mostly be doing their reading, writing and browsing – activities that are traditionally vertically oriented.

Even most websites just centre their content and leave behind swathes of white/empty space on both sides.

Anything beyond those activities, one should be using a bigger screen (desktop or a TV)^^^.

Jokes(?) apart, Framework laptops are the best option for folks like us as it ticks the most boxes. But it is not available in the country where I live, and I don’t want to import it as it would be meaningless without its broader ecosystem. FWIW, I have dropped them emails every year requesting them to expand their presence in more countries.

Till then, old ThinkPads. They are cheap, have enough spare parts on the market even after almost 2 decades, and even come with the kind of keyboards and screens that I like. :-)


^^^This, unlike the text above it, is a subjective thing

P.S.I always wanted to use superscript, subscript and horizontal line. Thanks to you, I got to use 2/3. :-)
