    This is it average consumer laptop shops filtering by price and then value for that price if they’re tech savvy at all lol

    Framework targeted a niche out the gate if they expected mass adoption in their business plan they misunderstood the market they were competing in

    If we remove the capitalistic pov it’s a different game but we live in the delulu we do

      From a comparison I saw, you can buy two complete laptops with the same specs as one framework. Its hard to justify an upgradable laptop at that point.

        Thanks to “look up” (value engineering) the I can buy the cheap one twice is more required than ever before lol! I can’t speak to frameworks build quality

        I’m also a used to dunk on apple products guy then I bought a MacBook Pro and honestly insert windows laptop here experience is just worse in every way “out of the box” 😂
