I've seen plenty of Framework laptops at hacker conferences.

  Hacker conferences hardly decide IT planning business decisions, and very few attend them. In any case, I would bet they are outnumbered by fruity laptops.

    > Hacker conferences hardly decide IT planning business decisions ... Probably a case of "the thin edge of the wedge". So in a few years time if/when Framework is more established, they might be an option for IT departments.

      If they provide warranty and support like Dell/HP/Lenovo then sure.

    IT planning business? I'm pretty sure that virtually all laptops at hacker conferences are privately owned and not provided by an employer. Hackers want a good laptop for personal use or freelancing. That's why most hackers choose among Frameworks, Thinkpads and MacBooks.

      Employees at big corps get what IT decides they are allowed to use, hence why Framework hardly matters outside hacker conferences.

        And, of course, no hacker has ever worked IT.

  Companies buy in bulk from Dell, HP and Lenovo. The ThinkPads are especially great. I've used mine from work for 3 years now. Coming up on renewal, and it looks good as new, just the old 8th gen i5 bringing it down. "Hacker conferences" dosent matter in the real world, sorry
