Yea, I admit, Framework makes an extremely compelling selling point here. If I buy a Framework laptop I can buy my own replacement parts and not have to ever deal with warranty service ever again. I can buy Rev 1 and then a few years later possibly buy a Rev 5 motherboard.. and maybe a Rev 5 lower shell to accommodate it or some other silly stuff.
It kinda reminds me of how some Thinkpad addicts went to crazy lengths to upgrade their 10 year old thinkpads with modern parts lol. Except this time it's official and supported.
That's awesome!
I think this HP is kinda tacky. I don't need a trackpoint and I don't want a keyboard offset to the side like that.
And of course you can just order a replacement mainboard for your already purchased Framework laptop, which is awesome.
