The APU/RAM is one unit

Yes that's the point.

everything else is modular and repairable.

That makes no sense. If any of those components fail, you might as well throw the whole thing in the garbage because that's 90% of the cost of the machine.

They’re one upping Apple, big PC OEMs and Chinese Mini PC makers with a more repairable, consumer friendly product.

What's about this is more repairable or consumer friendly?

I think you are clinging to the idea that RAM will be separate and upgradable from the CPU for a long time…

I am not "clinging" to anything. I didnt put that standard on them, that's Framework's marketing.

I don't believe it's not possible, I just don't believe anyone cares enough to make it happen.
