Framework feels like a bit of a gimmick to me, it's basically dongles, but they're built into the machine. I'd rather have a decent selection of ports out of the box.
Even the headphone jack is an option you need to buy, it's silly.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

The real reason I won’t buy one - despite wanting one really badly - is that Apple silicon is just too good. The gap between the battery life, performance and efficiency over x86 continues to widen.
$1100 isnt laptop money. Apple and Alienware poisoned the market 15 years ago. What happened to the dream of a $100 laptop? Wasn't there a whole movie or three about making this stuff affordable?
Best ive seen for value is chromebook. I think i bought 4 laptops one year for nieces and nephews for less than the cost of a single used MacBook pro or whatever was popular at the time. They do all the Facebook and Gmail that 95% of people actually need a computer for.
Isn't Framework affiliated with neo nazis or some shit
Not that I've heard. I'd be curious where you heard it. You should probably come with a source if you're going to make bold accusations like that.
Edit: I swear, I gramer good.

I am waiting for framework laptops to fall in price. They used to cost like 6 Monero and are now down to like 2 or 3.
I really want to buy a Framework, but it doesn't make sense to me if every year they announce a new model that is improved. Every year I think about buying one a new one gets announced :/ Maybe I don't understand it but what is the point of that?
