When you think about it, framework makes the perfect work laptop.
Why?
They are too overpriced to buy for personal use, but a company doesn’t care and will write it off in five years, at which point you can buy it for basically nothing, order a new mainboard, polish it up a little and you have yourself a brand new high end laptop for under a thousand. The system does not account for actually repairable electronics :)
How are they in terms of reparability?
I really like the ethos of framework… alas, they are from the US. But if you are going to buy any US tech, you can’t do better than them.
Yeah, I would switch from my Framework to a Slimbook if they offered upgradability.
They could make parts that work to the Framework spec, that is open source, which would he awesome.
Yeah…

Of course that’s “just” their CEO. Some nice Linux first devices, though.
Just read the literal second post with their reply man
The CEO’s non-replies and eventual silencing of all discussion is exactly the point. Support continues, customers ignored.
