I'm hoping that my next laptop will be a Framework 16, and I expect/hope for it to be a Ship of Theseus.
In the past when I've replaced laptops, it was usually because I wanted to update just one or two components. Retiring the entire laptop always felt so wasteful.
So the piecemeal upgrade process to which Framework aspires would be perfect for me.
(Also, being able to cheaply experiment with and replace component choices, e.g. keyboards, is a big selling point for me. My last laptop probably would have been from System76, but I really didn't like their choice of keycaps.)
