motherfuckers acting like those laptops aren't five hundred bajillion dollars
Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.
I was really determined to get one, partially because I love the cotton candy pink, don't judge. But now that memory and ram prices went up, it went from a premium price to absolutely insane. I'm just gonna stick with my old thinkpad another decade or so at this rate.
Yeah, I was about to say: with the prices of new machines nowadays, whenever all mine eventually conk out, I may just try to get used machines for pennies on the dollar at estate sales and revive them with Linux, haha.
