Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs

This is a hardware startup trying to attract customers away from the likes of Lenova, who has simpler products, a more mature supply chain, and economy-of-scale to their advantage. No way are they pricing to absorb 40%+ with day-to-day swings.

I prefer second-hand Lenovos to any new Lenova.

  Making it even tougher for Frameworks to win a customer like you over, even without 40%+ fuckery in pricing.

    I prefer to buy used. Less ewaste. Also they’re expensive, even w/o turdtax.

    Yeah they are expensive but unlike every other laptop on the market they’re also upgradable so you won’t have to buy another laptop in 2 years.
    
    Also if you don’t put Windows on it you probably will going to be able to run it for maybe 10 years and just upgrade it as things go wrong with it.
    
    The biggest thing that kills laptops, the thing that’s killed every laptop I’ve ever had, has been the battery dying, a framework only sold a user a replaceable battery it would be worth the cost of entry.
