    Most expensive laptops

    Yep. The 'S' is not silent like 'D' in 'Django' unfortunately ... the ThinkPad T420s and T430s are great laptops (and I personally used and still have T420s) but more modern ones like T480s/T490s/T14s are too much fucking loud (fan going crazy fast) to say the least.

    OpenBOX Openbox Configuration Manager

    Most expensive laptops ... are the ones that you literally can not buy. Show me an offer to buy ThinkPad 25th Anniversary Edition (known also as T25) ... even used one ... or a modified ThinkPad T480 with ThinkPad T25 keyboard (known as FrankenPad T25) ... nowhere. Zero. Nada. Gone.

    When would you say that x86 computers became "black boxes"?

    Yep. We can all fight all that bullshit. The question is - why we have to in the first place?
