  The other thing that pushed me towards Framework was the trivially user-replaceable parts, including the battery. My MBP's battery failed (swelled up) twice while under warranty, but it was a pain to deal with each time: wipe the SSD (because it's soldered on), hand it over to Apple, wait several days for repair, and then restore from backup. And now it's no longer under AppleCare coverage anyway. In contrast, Framework designed their motherboard so we can even use it as a standalone PC once we're done using it as part of a laptop. That's such a difference in terms of user reparability.
