Yup, same. They seem to be the most reasonable, though they’re quite pricey ($1400 base w/o RAM or drive). I hope they can sell enough to bring costs down a bit before I need an upgrade.
It is a bit pricey, though comparing my dream build to a gaming laptop of the same specs it’s still a bit cheaper, and it’s completely worth it to not have to buy a whole new machine in 2-4 years. Especially since the components to upgrade/expand are quite reasonably priced.
Yup, it’s certainly cool, and I’ll probably go that route regardless.
That said, a basic Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with a comparable CPU and included RAM and an SSD is about the same price as the framework 13 without RAM or storage. So that’s something like $200 difference.
That said, Lenovo is sucking more and more every year, so it’s not a crazy markup, and there’s value to being able to swap parts and whatnot. I would just prefer to get a little bit more for the money, especially since I’m more than happy to assemble it.
Still a really cool project and probably something I’ll get in a year or two when my current E495 dies (my kids keep trying to break it…).
This why my next laptop will be a Framework. Don’t just screw Apple, screw them all.
