Are newer thinkpads worth it over the framework laptop? (feddit.cl)

The framework laptop promises to be an upgradeable and repairable laptop, not quite the same philosophy that makes thinkpads great, but I wonder if newer thinkpads are good enough to prefer over a framework.

The old thinkpads that came with those self-repair manuals maybe were. But the new ones are more or less the same as most other modern laptops. I guess they don't have soldered SSDs, which is good, but the framework is definitely better for repairability.
