We've recently started piloting a business program for SMB and teams within enterprises because of the amount of inbound interest we were getting. We're using the learnings from this to scale up business sales. We agree the incentives are aligned for a modular, upgradeable product to be a good solution. As you build up a fleet of systems that all have easily interchangeable parts, you can reduce downtime and manage upgrades at a granular level.
If we could buy enough of them I'd advocate for moving my entire team over to Frameworks. That's not tenable for a few reasons right now, but I can see the day where bulk ordering them and support is better than what you get from Dell, HP, and Lenovo right now.
If you had to buy new machines for new hires in 2020-2021 then you know the pain of finding good and reasonably priced machines. It was a nightmare, and the options are frankly not that great for developers. Especially if you have an aversion to Lenovo products, because they seemed to be the only company with stock available to ship last year.
