Not for me at least.

I wanted to try a framework laptop, but it’s not available in my market. I have had good experiences with dell and thinkpads that have official linux support.

Cool! I think 16" laptops are too big, but nice specs. Amd 7040 series is looking great

I have a couple of “Nördic” brand cables that seem to be holding up very well compared to others. No idea if they’re available outside the Nordic countries, though.

I have a Thule backpack, think it is 32l storage. Had it for 15 years and taken it all over the world. The only thing that’s broken is some of the plastic “handles” to make the zippers easier to pull. Very happy with it.
