Can't find modern laptops , that are not giant g4m3r laptops that have barrel plugs.

It seems all the smaller portable tops have gone USBC.

This is not good. USBC power delivery relies on very complicated controller ICs for logic because it has to deal with different voltages and current restrictions. These burnout and are not very durable.

Those are interesting. I have been assembling my desktops piecemeal for 25 years.

Are the Framework keyboards any good?

I haven't heard any complaints but I have seen people trying to mod them with stiffeners, Thinkpad keyboards, mechanicals and RGB.

It actually isn't that hard to make a stiff keyboard, they just refuse to put bigger and more screws where it'd be "less pretty" THE MIDDLE. Which is dumb, cuz it's the bottom.
