No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.
I love the idea of Framework and I want to get one, but the price is multiple times of what I paid for my current machine… and this is better than the Framework in several ways. I’m hoping that a few of the Frameworks make it onto the second hand market and I’ll buy one there. The idea of a laptop that’s easy to replace and lasts forever is brilliant though, and I hope they take off.
What did you get and for how much? To me it seems the framework (at least the 16) is only a bit (100-200 out of 1600) more expensive than laptops with similar specs.
