What is your previous/other laptop brand? (alien.top)

I see a lot of anecdotal comments about users' past or present Thinkpads on this sub so I'm curious how many FW13 buyers have come from a Thinkpad or have a Thinkpad as a second machine and how many have migrated from other brands.

I see the appeal of Framework for the old-school Thinkpad tinkerer. The FW13 will be the first non-Thinkpad I've owned since the old 570 back in the 1990s (although, granted, I've always been able to get EPP pricing on Thinkpads, which has influenced by purchases). My other laptop is a Gen4 Thinkpad P1, which is too big and power hungry to really be a good travel machine, but I will probably replace it with another powerful Thinkpad P-series laptop sometime in the next year for all the editing I do at home.

I have a HP dB 1xxx laptop. R3500u, upgraded to 32gb RAM and 1tb storage. But today my fw13 AMD arrived. But the delivery came 15min after I left for my university so I have to wait till the evening...
