hi everyone, i was planning on getting a new laptop cheaply for about 500ish but then i stumbled upon this near-totally modular laptop rhat starts out at above 1000 bucks. do you think the cheaper laptop in the long run is just a false economy and i should go for the framework or what? if you want to ask questions go ahead but im mainly concerned about the longterm financials (and how well it will keep up over time)

    I seriously looked at them, but in the end, it was too expensive, especially over last years’ models on sale- which were also very repairable. Not quite as much, but damn close, and with a dedicated GPU and better IO.

    I like what they are doing, but they aren’t quite there yet. The best long term investment IMO is a PC, since it can be easily upgraded independent of any one company. And the parts are much easier to trade, resell, etc.
