I know a lawyer who just ordered one.
He's got disposable income, he wants a decent windows based laptop for his work, he liked the repairability angle.
This isn't for just tech enthusiasts.
A key difference, especially of late.
The idea of buying a Framework, just to put Windows on it, rubs me the wrong way haha
It's a step.
Step 1: new hardware (Framework), familiar OS (Windows)
Step 2: familiar hardware (Framework), new OS (Linux)
Step 3: "I use Arch Linux, btw."
