I’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.

I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.

    If I remember correctly the shipping was really high when shipping to the EU. Might be different now, I’ll take a look again.

      Currently they have direct shipping for some EU’s members (Germany, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium) Source

      And I think the shipment costs are currently already in the price for the laptop Source

      But I’ve not bought one so I don’t have direct experience

      I live in a country where Framework doesn’t officially ship. I asked them if I could buy and pay for shipping out here in the sticks, as a special order.

      Framework’s answer was a hard no.

      I kept telling them “What part of TAKE MY MONEY I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE COST OF SHIPPING don’t you understand? I want to buy a laptop from you, I’m telling you to wave the warranty and I’ll pay for shipping no matter how expensive, and you refuse???”

      But they refused.

      So fuck Framework, sadly.

      As for Linus Sebastian investing in their company, that one I didn’t know. That doesn’t make me all warm and fuzzy because, I don’t know why, Linus is one of the most phenomenally irritating Youtuber in Youtubeland. I can’t stand listening to the man.

      I know it’s totally subjective, he’s really pro in what he does and I have nothing against him, but it’s visceral: I can’t stand the sight of him. His investing in Framework makes me want a Framework laptop less - although I fully admit it’s not rational at all.

        One could use https://mailboxde.com. I don’t have personal experience with them, but they seem to insure packages up to 1000EUR.

        I think I’ll give this option a shot once I manage to offload a few existing computers…

        edit Well, perhaps not. Mailboxde says that they support shipping only inside EU.

        I live in a country where Framework doesn’t officially ship.

        Same situation here. I’ve been wondering what’s so difficult about it.
