Just the fact that I can swap any part of this laptop, in cause they get old or worn out, is worth a premium price.
If it's worth _this_ much of a premium price, I'm not so sure though.. It's quite rough - compared to Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8, it's 850$ extra, with lesser (GPU) performance.
- candiddevmike 3y agoBut you can only swap them out from one vendor (for now?). This just seems like a support contract with extra steps. It's also unclear how much cheaper this ends up being in the long run vs just buying a new laptop, AFAIK framework hasn't done a typical "refresh cycle" yet.
- Mashimo 3y agoEven with a support contracts, I'm not aware of any vendor that lets you upgrade the GPU for you.

- jjice 3y agoFWIW, the RAM and storage is completely standard and replaceable. Something that most laptops don't offer anymore unfortunately (plenty of decent ones still do though).
- sva_ 3y agoIt should be noted that there are other laptops where you can swap out most parts, e.g. the EliteBook is actually surprisingly good at this.
