hi everyone, i was planning on getting a new laptop cheaply for about 500ish but then i stumbled upon this near-totally modular laptop rhat starts out at above 1000 bucks. do you think the cheaper laptop in the long run is just a false economy and i should go for the framework or what? if you want to ask questions go ahead but im mainly concerned about the longterm financials (and how well it will keep up over time)

    It doesn’t look like the parts have any kind of DRM, so it wouldn’t be hard for third party manufacturers to build modules if the company ever went bankrupt. Worst case scenario you use the computer to its end of life like you would any other computer. I’m not seeing the systemic risk here.
