I really wanted to like Framework laptops. I travel a lot and break laptops frequently.
I really liked IBM Thinkpads, was all-in on Dell onsite warranty when it actually worked...
But I just got the cheapest MSI Modern. It has ok hardware, 64GB RAM, two SSDs, bunch of ports... Repairability is nice if you actually can get support and spare parts next day. Without that its just a marketing BS.
Today laptops are just disposable consumer goods. "Repairability" is a freedom to swap SSD from laptop #12 to laptop #13. Now all I need is a screwdriver and credit card to buy next laptop.
