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)

      At least five years. Even if the company goes under tomorrow, it’ll be a while before the mainboard is truly obsolete. The main “consumable” would be the battery, which I can probably hack a replacement for if official parts are no longer available.
