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?
