I wish I could buy it with a Ryzen chip. Not a knock on the company, they have to start somewhere, but when I'm looking at Ryzen and M1 systems as alternatives (along with just continuing to use my existing sturdy laptop) it shifts the benefits and costs a bit.

Yes. I applaud their effort to make this happen. But, it still hurts to make a choice of modular and open versus “newer and better”. If they could try to make the compromise amuck lower, they have my money.

I am comparing framework laptop with ASUS 16 X OLED with Ryzen 5000 series chip. Both are not available where I live(Netherlands) yet. But, if Framework publishes a timeline of when to expect a Ryzen equivalent, I’d wait. If not, ASUS it is.
