They aren't cheap, about $2k for a top spec box maxed out without the microsoft tax there, but available as cheap as you're willing to sacrifice as the base model was around a grand with windoze home. I happen to have a couple 1tb samsung m.2 1tb's floating around unused, I would reclaim to save some cost, but actually what I like is that they offer a bring-your-own option.
A bit pricier than I can probably find an xps 13 or 15 box for on refurb or coupon deals, but I like the concept more than the price. Combinations of ports are always annoying on my laptops, I rather like they're adjustable as just usb-c to whatever.

Got an idea of how much they cost?I have an old Dell here with a semi-broken keyboard and windows 7. I need something newer. If I can find a replacement internal keyboard for the dell, I will slap linux on it and call it good.
Otherwise, I will need a newer machine for some things that I do.

I posted before about these, pretty neat, open-ish hardware, and now shipping product. I rather like the modular ports and I can buy it without an os (ie microsoft tax). I can buy my own real windoze license for under ~10 bucks anyways if I have to.
If I don't find a decent ryzen laptop soon, I might consider one of these.

| We’re excited to see the first press reviews go live for the Framework Laptop and the first orders land on your doorsteps today! With the FTC unanimously voting to enforce the Right to Repair just yesterday, our timing couldn't be better for delivering a great, high-performance, easy to repair product. There is a ton of amazing material to read and watch, with more coming in the next weeks. Some of our favorite quotes so far are: |
|
|
| |
|
|
| “A poster child for the right-to-repair movement, Framework’s modular laptop is one of the smartest designs I’ve seen in a long time.”– Lori Grunin, CNET ( 8.5/10 ) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| “It’s the ultimate Right to Repair laptop”– Gordon Ung, PCWorld |
|
|
| |
|
|
| “The Framework Laptop is more than just [a] worthwhile experiment in modularity, it’s also a great laptop.”– Luke Larson, Digital Trends ( 4/5 ) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Reviewers loved the freedom to repair and upgrade, the Expansion Card system, CPU performance, keyboard feel, webcam quality, and more. Of course, inside of Framework, we gravitate towards the critical feedback that points us to where to do better. We take every bit of feedback seriously, and we want your thoughts as you start using your Framework Laptop. This lets us know where to focus for future improvements, whether that is for firmware updates, modules, or next products. A wonderful thing about our product philosophy is that improvements can go into replacement parts and upgrades that every existing user can pick up and swap to, rather than needing to wait around and pay for an entirely new product. |

| We’re grateful to each of you who have ordered already, and we’re looking forward to getting your Framework Laptop to you. Batch 1 pre-orders for July delivery continue to ship out from our warehouse each day. We’ll start Batch 2 shipments for August delivery soon after. We have a small number of Batch 2 Framework Laptop and Framework Laptop DIY Edition units currently available for sale, with just a fully refundable $100 deposit due today. If you pre-order now, some of you will be able to receive your order within 3 – 4 weeks. |

| As proud as we are of the Framework Laptop (and we’re extremely proud!), the greatest thing we have created over the last 18 months is the team that built it. It takes an incredible team to build an excellent product this complex and deliver it on time. We’re hiring on all fronts to continue developing the Framework Laptop ecosystem and initiate our next categories. Let us know if you know anyone who may be interested in helping us build products that are better for people and the planet. |
