I got a Framework 13 that originally came with an 11th Gen Intel mainboard in it for free.
Swapped the mainboard with a Ryzen board, installed some used DDR5 from eBay and reused all of the other components. Now I have a Framework 12 for around $500 and it’s likely the last laptop I’ll ever need to own, if I can keep upgrading it every few years.
