    Feeling the heat from Framework!

    Now checking to see if it can ship w/ Linux by default.

    edit: The answer appears to be "no." Also, searching Lenovo.com for "T14 gen 5" yields: "2676 Result For ‘t14 gen 5.'" Lenovo should really work on their search functionality.

    This is good to see.

    The annoying thing about soldered RAM on Thinkpads is that it can't be disabled.

    So if the onboard RAM dies so does your laptop. Even if the laptop has a SODIMM slot.

    How are the speakers on these? I loved my X1, and used it for years, but the speakers are hilariously bad compared to eg the MBP I use at work.

    What about keyboard depth?
