I’m curious as to the benefits of going with a frame work laptop realistically?

I primarily do CAD work and such so my needs are a bit different that a lot of people. But even looking at it from the perspective of wanting to game, i could pick up a second hand Dell for a tenth the price of a frame work, and have quite powerful on board graphics with a powerful CPU, and sure it wont be latest gen but it would still be enough to out preform a Framework 13 and possibly 16, and have a far bigger screen.

So surely there are some other benefits to a frame work? Or is it really just the fact you can repair these easily that make people buy them?

I’d also like to mention I do fully support what Framework are doing in terms of reparability but when it comes to considering if I should buy one I have got to think a little more logically than believing in the dream.

    I think eluktronic at one point had a 17" laptop with a desktop processor. I’m hoping Framework will be able to offer a desktop processor in a laptop and make it an upgrade option down the line.
