Yeah, although price/cost is another thing I noticed in a lot of the reviews for the 16 that dropped yesterday. They made a point that the Framework is generally more expensive for similar performance than competitors, which is true! But in the 13, upgrading to a new mainboard with a new CPU was ~half the cost of buying fresh. So, if in 3-5 years when the user decides they need an upgrade, they don't _need_ to buy an entire laptop, just a new mainboard. It seems to me that even a single upgrade cycle like this brings the cost at _least_ to parity, if not cheaper than competitors.
