too expensive, not worth it. i like the idea of being able to swap the GPU but thats about it.
i guess that theyll try to lower the prices when their devices become more mainstream or something. if not, a competitor will appear.

>>30538That's a fair point. I guess I felt like those who spend that much on laptops probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing anyways, but I suppose they exist and may be more abundant than I think

>>30540Gaming laptops are built like trash with no reliability, from the cheapest to the most expensive. Having something that's easy to repair is a selling point if you'll spend a small fortune on the laptop.

Short term is very expensive but the idea is that long term, you pay less for smaller more incremental upgrades for your device overtime

reparability is great and all, but making EVERY PART changeable is just stupid
make it easy to replace things that break the most often, not every fucking screw and atom - just increases production cost and end user cost

>>30534 (OP)framework is the future of laptops, thats for sure. even apple started being a bit more repair friendly with the macbook neo.
these prices are too much doe. id like to replace my desktop with a FW16, but i cant justify spending 2.8k eurodollars on a midrange gaming laptop at best

>>30535don't the motherboards support universal laptop parts tho?

>>30607those prices will be less in the future because you won't be paying for new ram/keyboard/trackpad/display/ssd etc. When you want to upgrade your laptops components

Holy aryan beast, I used that thing with win 10 and it ran flawless. They don't make them like that anymore,

>>30536It may be expensive in the short term but it's worth it in the long term since you can do incremental upgrades to your laptop rather than just outright buying a new laptop as soon as your laptop became too old or slow for daily tasks, which is cheaper than replacing the entire laptop

>those prices will be less in the future because you won't be paying for new ram/keyboard/trackpad/display/ssd etc. When you want to upgrade your laptops componentswell, yes but also not really. a cpu and gpu upgrade costs almost as much as a whole new gaming laptop.

>>30534 (OP)framework is for soyboys and jeets
Their bios is insydeH20
considering their goal is to be as open source as possible… WHY DIDN'T THEY SHIP IT WITH COREBOOT (granted, back then they didnt have the resources to do it)

>>32360do note that the only ryzen platform coreboot supports is epyc genoa
its much easier for a company like nova customs to support the latest and greatest intel ultra series 2 (dont know when and if they will release series 3 laptops) with coreboot
