    Assuming you would replace a laptop after 1-2 components fail or after the hardware is 5 years out of date, and given that hardware from Framework (when not on sale) is about 50% more than other laptop manufacturers, I personally estimate a Framework laptop is only cheaper and better for the environment after 4-6 years of use.

    So I wouldn’t buy it as a gift, but it will definitely be my next daily driver

      Could be the last laptop chassis you buy, which is pretty neat to think about. I would certainly reuse my old 2011 15’ MBP clamshell if I could.

      I love those old Thinkpad retrofit projects you see on blogs.
