The mainboard cost as much as a new laptop. https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ai300?v=FRANTE0009 https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ai300?v=FRANTE0009 AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series - Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 1000$ https://www.newegg.com/asus-vivobook-s14-14-0-non-touch-screen-amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370-amd-radeon-890m-32gb-memory-1-tb-nvme-ssd-neutral-black/p/N82E16834236675?item=N82E16834236675& https://www.newegg.com/asus-vivobook-s14-14-0-non-touch-scre... ASUS Vivobook S14 Laptop, Copilot+ PC AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 32GB RAM 1TB SSD 1000$. The pricing just isn't competitive imo. Plus PC laptops go on sale pretty often. Except for Framework. The issue IMO is a lack of scale. If Dell did this they could probably offer cheaper parts. Plus the warranty options drive the price up, I can add a 200$ warranty on the above Asus and get 3 years. 1200$ vs 2000$ on the Amd 370 framework. That said, I want Framework to succeed. It's good for the industry. It doesn't mean I'm personally ready to make the investment.
