At that price I’d honestly just get a MacBook. I know there’s a lot of Apple hate here, but they make phenomenal laptops.
I probably also wouldn’t ever upgrade my laptop, so framework probably isn’t for me anyways.

According to configurator, for 2000$ you get a Linux capable laptop with 32 Gb RAM, 2Tb SAD, and one of the top CPUs on the market. It’s definitely not price that MacBooks compete with this on, as anything comparable starts at 500$ more.
M1 versions do compete on price, but there’s a whole other set of trade offs there.
I used nothing but Apple computers from the early 80’s right until around the time that Steve Jobs died. I really liked what they were back then. Snow Leopard was an amazing OS. I’ve found that the spirit of what I liked about those earlier Apple computers is more present in Linux than in modern Apple computers these days.
I know there’s been some success with running Linux on Apple hardware, but even so, I’d favor buying into a positive philosophy of how a business should be run and how products should be made just as much as the quality of the hardware. And in the case of Framework, it doesn’t appear they’re making remotely bad hardware.

here is the list of countries & regions they’re shipping to
Thank God they don’t ship here or I’d have bought it
If only I had 2000 euros to spare for this beauty…
Numpad or no numpad? The choice is yours.
Was this a feature of the previous generation? This is really cool! Framework has settled the numpad debate.
No, it’s new
I haven’t been following this. Why would I want it?
Replaceable everything. Deeply customizable.
I dumped a cup of coffee in my laptop a month ago and was so bummed that it wasn’t for sale yet.
I’m really excited about these. I hope over time, some standard for modular laptops develops and it extends beyond Framework. Kind of like how we have ATX and ITX motherboards, for example. I don’t pretend to grasp all of the practical issues with making that happen, but it’d be a promising direction.
