Comment on What do you think of framework and their methods?

I purchased a 1st gen Framework in early 2022 because I strongly believe in the ethos of the company and even though I didn’t really need a laptop, I wanted to support the company.
Overall I’m quite happy with the laptop, there are definitely a few things that weren’t great on the 1st gen units, such as the speakers, hinges, and the battery life. Some of those I have since upgraded as they improved them in later years, and it now meets my needs pretty well.

Framework: We design our products to last, to reduce e-waste
Enthusiasts: buys their products even though they don’t need new ones, just because they’re cool, producing more e-waste in the process

ultimately a lot of choice is left in the hands of the consumer

It’s true. My previous laptop was getting up there in age but it still had probably a year or two left of casual use after I replaced the battery. Thankfully my father found a use for it with one of his projects. Now I’m eyeing Framework’s new Ryzen mainboards and thinking of upgrading despite just buying this laptop last year. Yeah I can use my old mainboard as a home server, but I’ve been doing just fine without one.
If I do decide to upgrade, I don’t know how I’ll justify my subsequent upgrade until things stop working.
