I have a personal Framework (cheapest DIY at launch - i5-1135G7) and a ThinkPad T15 (i5-1165G7) from work; that would be recommendation too.
(I'm not claiming the slower CPU Framework is somehow faster than T15 - I just mean to say I'm not biased by the Framework having better hardware, being better on paper.)
Build quality alone is superior IMO, even if it wasn't for the glorious repairability & upgradeability. (Which is glorious, they really paid attention to that, it's not just 'RAM is not soldered down', it's attention to detail like magnetic positioning, captive screws, etc.)
