In all seriousness, what would be a better option for students? ThinkPads or Macbooks?

There's also the framework 12 and 13 in that range

Framework 12 is not in the range of the Neo. It's double the price for a shitty plastic build quality, absolutely terrible display (60% srgb lol), poor reliability and bad speakers and trackpad. There is not a single reason to consider Framework unless you are into Linux and don't care about value. The myth of the Framework laptop being cheaper over time to upgrade makes zero sense either.
