Personally, I'm currently using a Razer Blade 15 that I'll be replacing soon with the Framework 16. If the Framework wasn't coming out, I'd likely be buying a thinkpad.

Have not had the need to repair, but I was astonished it shipped with
brackets and FPC cables for the second drive.
Here is a link to the service manual

When I am on batteries, I am using the system to diagnose embedded
systems. This includes the use of USB to serial converters and serial
terminal emulators. I do embedded systems development with jtag
programming tools for uploading code to microcontrollers. I also use
network tools such as wireshark. This includes the continuous use of
WiFi, and the display of multiple video streams generated by our
systems. In this sort of operation, I get about six hours if I start
at 100% and take the batteries all the way down. I try not to do that.
I prefer to set charge limits to 80% and cycle to not deeper than 20%.
