I use a laptop most of the time because then I can sit in a recliner with my feet up. I spend the day at a desk I don't much fancy doing the same in the evening.
I have a Framework laptop from the first ones they made, which are upgradeable and repairable. Unfortunately they don't ship to NZ, I got mine by freight forwarding and also got parts a bit later the same way. But now they have cracked down hard on freight forwarding as I recently learned, so I can't get any more upgrades until they start shipping here (no announced plans).
That sucks about freight forwarding.
I'm considering getting a Framework for my next laptop as well. But my current laptop works well enough, so I'm in no hurry. If they offered a Trackpoint option or at least put physical mouse buttons above the trackpad, I wouldn't have any hesitation because I love that on my Thinkpad.
But honestly, I use my laptop a few times/year, other than my kids playing Minecraft on it (hence wanting to get them a computer of their own). Most of my gaming is on my Steam Deck or Switch, so I only really use the laptop when we travel or if we have guests over and I need to get something done when everyone is watching a movie or something, and a lot of the time I'll use my work laptop instead since my kids often use both my desktop and laptop.
Yeah they only have the one trackpad option. I tend to use a mouse anyway.
Probably not much point in getting one if you're going to build your kids a PC anyway.
By the way I managed to get a light on the motherboard, so it might not be dead after all. I'm planning to get some more thermal paste today and keep tinkering, I might save it yet.
Good luck!
The luck didn't help haha, I never got that light again, except for occasional split second flashes. I edited some info into the original post, but long story short, after lots of fluffing around in the end it was the motherboard. I got a new one and now I'm back up and running!
