    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.

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