Crackbooks and chinkpads are the best I can find. I like the versatility of MacBook but hate most other things.

In $current_year + 3 every single laptop on the market has at least one of the following 'features':
- Shit keyboard with low key travel and/or functionally crippled layout
- Comically large trackpad that takes up all the palm rest space freed up by shrinking and crippling the keyboard, and which has to rely on the driver's palm detection to stop the cursor from jumping around while typing
- Soldered RAM, soldered SSD, sealed battery making repairs ridiculously difficult or impossible for end users
- Stupid case design targeting normie aesthetic preferences, meaning no maintenance bays for quickly accessing and swapping components, no indicator LEDs, no hardware radio switches, etc
- 'Thin and light' design philosophy to appease noodle-armed MORALLY SUPERIOR BEINGs and women who might break a wrist if they had to carry around more than 2kg at a time, which results in undersized cooling systems, overheating throttling processors and surface temps of 50C+ under load
The best I can find to replace my 7 year old W520 is a chinkpad P51, which comes with a worse display out of the box unless I opt for the battery sucking 4K option, and the keyboard/trackpad layout is so bad that I'm convinced Lenovo hired a blind retard to design it. So I guess I'll build a nice Ryzen desktop instead and stop using laptops altogether. Fuck everything.
Not necessarily. I think you meant to say,
home-end user laptops are shit. This is very true. If you are looking for the features that are typically lacking in what you can find at your local Walmart/Best Buy, then you need to be prepared to spend more.
Sager/Clevo makes excellent, high-end laptops that feature the things you'd want. Check em' out.

New computers suck and you only use IRC and hate social media.
You are just a mentally ill luddite stuck thinking the late 1980's was the golden age of computers.
You probably thought the mouse was stupid and pointless when it came out too.
