Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.
The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.
And nothing of value was lost…
