I want to buy Framework Laptop but is it good as reputable brands or just marketing scam ?
Honestly i like laptop that can you swap everything inside it but i doubt the durability of it
That's an interesting question. What's considered a reputable brand in 2023? What do you consider durable? One company allows you to replace every component with non broken parts and upgrades when they arrive, take older parts and reuse them in other projects, provides schematics to roll your own accessories and encourages tinkering. The other company is so locked down that when 1 component fails the device fails. When the device gets old it is thrown in a landfill. The power of the system is artificially "tuned" for battery longevity at the cost of performance because once again you can't swap the battery...
C'mon, man.
What i think reputable & durable laptop is like Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell XPS or HP Elitebook, is Framework Laptop as durable as Thinkpad or XPS ?
Honestly from what i saw in their promotional video framework laptop are good kinda like Panasonic ToughBook but cheaper, but it's like magical think to some people because you can replace everything even the motherboard itself to whatever you like as long it's compatible with your laptop case
Even Panasonic ToughBook can't change everything, you can only swap it with another modules
