Yeah I'm familiar with apple referb. Great stuff, got my ipad and phone that way and didn't notice any differences then if I had just bought it new.
I would LOVE a macbook (great hardware and great battery, not to mention the addition to my walled garden) of some sort but again with the software issue, would rather not run VMs for a ton of stuff.
Second choice right behind framework is probably the Lenovo T series (really just have to see what the pricing looks like when it is launched 🤞 )

A Steamdeck would probably be the console I would get if I would got one but would rather spend that ~$500 on an additional 8GB ram....
APUs are getting pretty good so I'm sort of torn about getting one with a dedicated GPU (though that concern is really only for framework laptops where that is a separate module that you buy, any other laptop that I'm considering has that because theres not really a market for a mid/high laptop without a GPU)

@MIfoodie @clive You might look for deals on MS Surface new or newer used if your wanting/needing windows. Their repairiblity has improved from what I understand. https://www.ifixit.com/News/96998/from-0-10-to-8-10-microsoft-puts-repair-front-and-center
