Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2. Everything works but endless Nvidia driver issues with multi-monitor setup causing screen to blank out and all windows to shift to one monitor - rearranging the windows multiple times gets tiring pretty soon. Performance is slightly above mediocre and runs pretty hot too (if you have issues with fan noise, this machine is NOT for you). Has turned up with flat battery multiple times even when the battery was showing 60%/70% prior to last shutdown (not sleep or hibernate).
The two saving graces are its upgradability (two RAM slots + two SSD slots) and its port selection (1 TB/1 USB-C/2 USB-A/1 HDMI/1 Mini DP) which means I can drive three monitors without a dock (have stopped trusting them after a bad experience).
Had Dells in the past but the battery starts to bloat and miscellaneous issues crop up so I have given up on them.
Framework would be the choice for my next laptop assuming I can get off the Nvidia train and get on AMD with decent port selection (or if they can't have that many ports, would be good if they come out with a decent dock that is guaranteed with work with Linux in a multi-monitor (3 atleast) setup - that is a another area they can win a bunch of customers).
