I definitely don't buy a new laptop every two years, few people do, and when I do buy one, like most people, I sell or hand it down. Same with a phone, I don't think many people throw away 2 year old phones. Using a laptop intensively for 5-6 years cannot be called "throwaway culture". When it's finally unusable, Apple will recycle it for free, at least if you buy a new one at the same time. I don't know what they do with the battery, but I can't see why it would help if it was easily user replaceable. Maybe you feel that the M1 is overhyped because you only had your previous laptop for a year or two? Coming from a 2016 MBP the difference was huge. And of course that laptop is still in use 5-6 hours a day. Most importantly, assuming Framework is still around in 10 years, do you think you'll use it for significantly longer than 8 years, which I suppose will be the lifetime of my old MBP?
