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.
One advantage I see is that you can improve your overall experience with time by making new upgrades, instead of being stuck with a non-upgradable machine’s flaws. For example, if you had bought the first batch, now you get the luxury of upgrading the processor, or the display to matte.
