    I have honestly been pretty obsessed with this laptop for a while now. Sadly not available in my country yet.

    It does seem like they are succeeding though, they have had so much positive press and they are still getting loads of orders as far as I can tell.

    I remember when people were first talking about framework they thought it wouldn’t be able to achieve enough scale to be profitable. Well it looks like they might actually be dooing it.

    Incredible what they have done in just a couple of years.

    Yeah this framework laptop looks really cool and takes right to repair to the next level I think which is great. Hopefully people buy it but by the past of modular laptops and phones I am not sure it will catch on with the general public and will remain a geeky product used by tech enthusiasts not the general population who might be worried about breaking their laptop by assembling it and the bare bones kit will not catch on for sure with the general public because most people don’t have the time nor care to assembly a laptop from parts and many would run scaryed of just the thought of it but at least with this laptop it uses pretty standard laptop parts that you can get off the shelf I gather which means if framework does go bankrupt at least you might still be able to still repair the product for the most part or get a repair shop to do it for you

    But why have a proprietary connector system instead of just making every PC repairable? What did Cory smoke?
