They also have a 12" laptop for the lower end market.

When friends or family ask my opinion on what computer to buy, I have two recommendations.
1 - Frame.work with Linux on it
2 - Macbook

Unless you're tight on cash, those are the two best options. Heck, even if you are tight on cash, get a used version of either of the above, you'll probably do just fine.

Unless you're REALLY tight on cash, then get an ebay thinkpad and load linux.

Was recently asked for hardware preferences for a new job and my list was basically that. Framework with Linux -> MacBook -> Some other Linux Laptop - Windows.

Used Thinkpad is also a solid alternative if the power of apple silicon is not needed

Kinda disappointed in the recent Thinkpads since they removed deep sleep and only have sleep to idle which is garbage in my experience. I ended up re-enabling hibernate because it would get less than 8 hours on battery while sleeping and would cook in my bag once put into sleep. The framework (at least the 13 not sure on the pro) still supports deep as far as I'm aware.
