ok? but their laptops are entirely repairable and upgradable down to the CPU. The other 3 just repackage blank laptops with their name and bios on it and call it a day.
I imagine it’s the same as with desktops, where a CPU upgrade after a few years also requires a motherboard upgrade anyways, so it’s less of an issue that the CPU is not replacable as a single unit.
Also I don’t think there are sockets for laptop CPUs anyway
My five year old x470 board supports up to ryzen 5000 CPUs, but that’s besides the point. There’s very few features that impress me about the framework especiallysince it lacks coreboot and uses an Intel CPU with Intel ME enabled.

The CPU isn’t embedded?
