I recently purchased a Framework 13 and a ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD. I thought I would write down my impressions after using them for a week and see how they stack up against a modern MacBook. (No performance comparisons, as I got the 7640U in the Framework vs. the 8840HS in the ThinkPad, so it wouldn't be a fair fight)

Framework 13 AMD ($845 laptop + $80 RAM + $80 SSD)

Build quality

expansion cards have significant gaps, one port misaligned slightly
shell feels like plastic, not very premium (very thin aluminum)
screen flex is quite significant when bent from a corner
hinge is stiff but very wobbly, can open with one hand
bezel not very secure, peels up when opening screen all the way
