It’s the final laptop in the same way that Theseus’s boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you’ll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.
That said, I have an Intel one and it’s a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they’ve partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.
IDK about final but Framework has a pretty strong possibility of being my next laptop.
Anyone got this information not in a video?
Doesn’t work for me since the next machine I buy needs to be waterproof. But good on them!
Why do you need a waterproof laptop? (I’m just curious)
Against spilled drinks.
Don’t consume stuff over your device?
I have several bottles on my desk but if I eat or drink messy things near my keyboard, I place a towel over it.
I own the Framework Laptop 13 and 16. I can answer any questions you have.
Would you buy it again?
The Framework 13, yes. I bought my wife one. I bought another for a cousin. My company has been deploying them for other users. They have been nothing but spectacular.
The Framework 16, it’s still early, but it’s been riddled with bugs. The latest driver pack from late April seems to have fixed most of the issues I’ve been having, so we’ll see, but based on my experience so far, I can’t recommend anyone buy it until the get a few more driver and BIOS patches out.
how many years do you think we should wait?
Young entrepreneurs are cool. They’re interesting, enthusiastic, and genuinely want to make things better. They haven’t started enshittifying their product yet just because they’re greedy assholes. Remember when Google’s motto was “don’t be evil”?
No, they aren’t. Most of them represent the exact same mentality that leads to enshittification - profit at all cost.

Just why do people on Lemmy need to turn every unrelated post into some anti-capitalist rant?
because it is filled with far left
