Last time I checked for the price of a Framework I would be able to buy 2 comparable Slimbooks. I don't know what sense does it make to buy an upgradable laptop if replacing one after couple of years will cost the same. Is it just about reducing e-waste? I still have to do something with old framework parts and I think reusing an old laptop would be easier.

    But why would you be replacing them when you can upgrade?

    If the lifetime of the device is twice as long, you already made a profit.

    What I'm saying is that if Slimbook costs 1.5k and Framework costs 3k it's still cheaper for me to buy 2 Slimbooks over 10 years than to buy one Framework and use it for 10 years with an upgrade in the middle. What's the benefit of upgrading here?
