    Don’t get a framework. It’s a gimmicky waste of money.

    Why exactly do you need a new laptop, anyways? Have your hardware requirements really increased that much in 3 years to warrant looking for a new device?

      While I like the general objectives behind framework, I am not convinced about their standard qualities.

      My laptop is fine, I just want to understand the trends in the industry and where to buy when it eventually dies. For the record, I have a Dell Latitude 7410 released in 2020 (bought used) and it works perfectly. However, I wish I could have better audio, higher-quality trackpad, and a lighter laptop.

        Because it’s overpriced. You can get better hardware for lower prices.

        The framework laptop only exists to take money from people who don’t know any better and want to feel 1337.
