@rcombs you live your life differently to me, it seems
but also i must point out that framework's whole point is you can improve perf without replacing the entire thing

@saagar @rcombs framework will happily sell you a new mainboard. are you expecting them to fail or are you expecting the mainboard cost to be high enough it makes more sense to sell the whole unit and buy a new laptop

@hikari huh, I didn't realize the mainboard was upgradable; remains to be seen how well that goes over time, though; I'll be impressed if a single layout ends up longer-lived than eg a CPU socket tends to be (i.e. just short enough for upgrades to rarely be worthwhile)

@hikari particularly given the timing with the windows PC market currently quite possibly at the cusp of its ARM moment; if they've managed to design a laptop chassis that can accommodate an end-user-performed upgrade across CPU architectures, I will be *incredibly* impressed

@rcombs they already launched both intel and amd versions of their product though i don't know off the top of my head if you can actually switch between them
