1) Yep, the M.2 SSD, M.2 Wifi, and 2x SO-DIMMs are all off the shelf modules, and you can use standard parts. You can actually order the Framework Laptop DIY Edition with those sockets empty and bring your own. 2) The CPU is soldered, as unfortunately socketed mobile CPUs are long gone. By making the rest of the high value parts of the mainboard socketed though, the remaining value is largely in the CPU. We've designed for making the mainboard easy to replace. 3) i7-1165G7 has no vPro. You can also turn off AMT on the i7-1185G7 which does have vPro 4) We've tested to around 10.5 hours on MobileMark 2018, but battery life will always depend on workload. 5) When set to Canada, the prices are in CAD. 6) We don't currently have extended warranty options, but because we make repair easy and replacement parts available, it should be cost effective to maintain the laptop over a long period of time. 7) Xe is short of VR-level power, but you can play things like Overwatch or League of Legends at 60FPS.
