Framework feels like a bit of a gimmick to me, it's basically dongles, but they're built into the machine. I'd rather have a decent selection of ports out of the box.
Even the headphone jack is an option you need to buy, it's silly.
I think you’ve missed the point of framework laptops.
What other laptops can you change the gpu or screen on?
You can change the screen on my t480. Lots of things can be changed on it. It also cost less than $200.
I prefer the off lease commercial thinkpads too, but I am glad someone is actually creating new stuff for that market. The used thinkpad market can't grow.
Great, now can you change the GPU? Add another usb-c port? Add a 3.5mm port?
