I really really want to want Framework 16 for example.

But 2,5 kg versus 1,8 kg for a Lenovo with way better specs (I'm a traveller, weight is everything)... tough...

Framework Laptop 16 without a dGPU is 2.1kg.

Well yea, a pre-built with no regards for repairability will always end up more tighly packed than something that needs to fit in a standardized battery, etc. And in Framework's case, an entire GPU.

That's pretty much why phones never had a chance for this idea until very recently (and AFAIK, those recent examples are still not commercially available).

LG Gram laptop series. My LG Gram is the best laptop I ever had. It's lighter than Mac laptops.
