      I wasn’t prepared. I’ve been eyeing a mini for a while and this thing kills it on value compared to what I would get in a similar price point.

        What alternatives were you considering, and how does the product from Framework compare?

          Mac mini and studio. The overall power comparison remains to be seen but cost to spec ratio I would have had to spend over 6k and couldn’t have 16tb of memory, frameworks was around 3200.

      Ok, should I know who framework is? I’ve been a PC gamer since forever and I’ve never heard of this company.

          repairable and upgradable*

          I know it’s an absolutely banal nitpick, but I think it’s unfortunately a revelation in the current laptop market that ~90% of a laptop stays good for a really really long time, and the other 10% can be upgraded piecemeal as the need arises. Obviously this was never news to the Desktop world, but laptop manufacturers got away with claiming this was impossible for laptops in the name of efficiency and portability.

        its modular like a desktop pc. you can fix it and upgrade piecemeal instead of junking it, also like a desktop. if you are a gamer you dont need to be in that common situation where the cpu still holds but the gpu is already oooolddd that usually happens on laptops.
