@crunklord420 @starlabssystems The idea of Framework is great, but they needed mass volume to make it worthwhile. Cheap easily replaceable parts are the gimmick, but their parts aren't compellingly cheap.
Having a laptop where you can swap in an Ethernet port or more storage without soldering is cool, and maybe $40-$45 is reasonable for that. But not when you're starting with a $1300-$1700 laptop. Framework needed to hit like 10-20% market share and drop their prices hugely, become true commodity vendors instead of a boutique.
