> My plan is to keep my entry-level M1 Air for a few more years and then I'm replacing it with a Framework laptop. IMHO, the Mac and Framework are different products for different people: The Mac is for generalists who just need a computer that's easy to use and gets things done whereas the framework is for techies who need to get things done, but also care about open architecture, upgradability, and tinkering with esoteric Linux distros. Many of these generalists on the Mac side don't need more than a web browser for most of their tasks and are willing to pay more because they don't want to care about the details: they just want a computer that works. This isn't to say one or the other is better, but that they are solving for fundamentally different problems.
