I’m a Windows guy, but I switched to a MacBook for a while because it just felt way better. About 1.5 years ago I tried the ThinkPad X9 14" and was really disappointed: a few Chrome tabs, PyCharm and some light multitasking made it hot, loud, and laggy.
I’m giving Windows another shot with one of these:
- ASUS ExpertBook Ultra (Core Ultra X7 358H, 32GB)
- Framework Laptop 13 Pro (X7 358H or X9 388H, 32GB)
The screen and haptic trackpad seem similar, so what I care about most is performance and battery life.
Which one would you go for, and why? And if it’s the Framework, X7 or X9?
P.S my company is buying me a new laptop so price isn't a factor
