    I really miss the customization that older laptops offered, especially the socketed CPUs. I remember putting a i7-3840QM in my T430 and having it shut down due to overheating every few minutes to the point where I had to install the heat sink from the GPU model. Was fun tinkering around with it and I wish modern laptops had a similar level of hackability.

      Never managed to get one myself, but Framework laptops could be your thing as well?

        If you don't mind the nazi bar, silencing and unresponsive support etc.
