I admit the clickbait part if you look at it from an open source/open hardware perspective, however, with the title I wanted to rather follow up on the lacking trackpoint keyboard for a repairable modular laptop. And you are also right on the b2b ( see also my own comment below). However, not much of an framework ecosystem has actually materialized yet. To me it is an alternative as it is also modular and repairable to some degree. Your post is also quite typical HN in its negativity:The product does exist and you can buy it via resellers. Maybe a better title would be ThinkPad alternative. The comparison to framework wasn't actually my idea but I read review about it in one of the biggest European computer tech magazies [1]. It also has been featured with a reference to framework on Tom's HW [2] Edit:wording, link [1] https://www.heise.de/tests/Nachhaltiges-Business-Notebook-PrimeBook-Circular-im-Test-7099513.html https://www.heise.de/tests/Nachhaltiges-Business-Notebook-Pr...
