I’m currently looking for one because my MacBook, while still works and does what I need, has reached that point where I’ll eventually have problems down the road.

I’ve looked into and it does intrigue me, but I’d like something preassembled. I prefer using the family of Linux and would like a seller that lets me choose configuration options, like and

OS from them that I am very much satisfied with, but have heard their laptop offerings aren’t the best, mainly due to the use of Sager/Clevo, which has seen a decline in quality.

However, the Pangolin Pro is among my considerations at the moment.

I haven't used one of their products. I have had a Purism laptop that I enjoyed.

I’m looking for a 16 in. screen, but their offering there is only Windows. I can live with 13 inches, since I used a Surface Book.

However, the big thing I’m looking for is minimum storage of 4 TB and minimum of 64 GB RAM.

Thanks for letting me know they have prebuilt options with Linux though. 🙂

When I was looking at them, they offered only Windows unless I did DIY.

someone pointed at Framework, which i'm also looking at (or as i now call it, the ikea of laptops😅)
also Starlite https://us.starlabs.systems/collections/laptops

Dell & Lenovo were also suggested. whichever brand, i heard Zorin can be configured to look like windows or apple

The DIY option is straightforward to put together, and I’ve had mine for 4 years and haven’t had any issues.
