I know this probably won’t be received well, but I look at framework and I see the least usable option. On some level I understand the idea and think it is somewhat desirable. However, I just think the modular nature comes with substantial drawbacks compared to modern competitors.

For home use i’m mostly a gamer. They don’t really have powerful gaming options and I can just build my own desktop in the case I want with whatever hardware I want.

For not-gaming home use, I want something lightweight that just works. I just get something from work usually. It’s common to have a glut of laptops when you acquire someone or to just order something as a tester or to demonstrate an option- which happens to be the one system I really want to use.

Framework is expensive for what they provide. The upgrades are rarely worth the price to me. If I really had to buy something, I could buy something I really want with the specs and features I really want instead of having a ton of hot swappable ports that I never touch because I just want usb-c anyway. When it’s time for me to upgrade I end up giving my old to one of my friends or family members, because there’s always a need there- two such machines i’m handing out over thanksgiving.
