> My 4-year old Dell XPS 15 is up for replacement, but somehow no manufacturer aside from Apple is making laptop with decent specs nowadays?

Panasonic Let's Note. Your welcome.

It's repairable, upgradable, and has a *removable battery* (unheard of in 2025).




Wow, that is an extraordinarily ugly laptop. Reminds me of a classic Onion bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA


From the pictures, it looks like this device does not have the kind of build quality that XPS and MacBook have.


They use a magnesium alloy chassis, which IMO, is superior to aluminium. Lighter and more dent resistant.

Frankly, I'm not sure why people think that laptops with CNCed aluminium chassis are the pinnacle of build quality.
