$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.

They wont ship to my locale and actively block frieight forwarders, otherwise I would happily give them $10k for a couple high end computers.

soooooo that line for a ~1 year to buy a laptop from there ... is what ? Ow and the fact that i need to wait close to half a year to get JUST the MOBO ... yeah sure. Whatever.

Isn't Framework affiliated with neo nazis or some shit

Price point is bad...

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.

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?

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.
