The current 13in with a weak intel processor is $1850

Is not at all a weak processor. Intel currently makes the best x86 mobile processors on the market. The entire point is that you don't have to buy a whole new computer when you upgrade. You just get an updated motherboard and slap it into the existing chassis.

The upgrade cost for the motherboard (say you want to switch to AMD), will cost you $900. For that $3k you can buy 3 Dells all with ram and storage.

And all 3 will be outdated when it comes time to upgrade. And they'll all be shittier than the Framework.

they aren't positioned well without RAM as their newer ones use LPCAMM2

That is 1 of 5 computers they sell.

Frameworks are more expensive than simply upgrading to a newer laptop

They're absolutely not.

can't imagine with the rampocalypse that they easily survive

Being that you can and have been able to buy them without RAM or storage, I'd say they're better-positioned than anyone.

Wrong

Advertising is expensive as hell. Probably not a huge budget. The products kinda sell themselves in the right circles.

This is not a reality anyone needs to "face", it's just an intentionally poor choice of words.

The company is absolutely not "going bust". In fact they often have trouble producing enough to keep up with demand. They're just not going to blow away Dell or HP anytime soon.

In no context is hundreds of thousands of people "almost nobody".

It may be, but that doesn't resemble what they said. Presumably that is a less clickbaity headline.

Almost nobody is willing to buy one

repairability enthusiasts have bought Framework laptops in the hundreds of thousands

Pick a lane there, XDA...

The important bit is that you can choose which ports you want and that they sit flush in the chassis so you don't have to carry a dongle.

Your experience is not reality. Steam has completely removed several games.
