I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.
MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.
I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.
If you are buying a laptop, Framework is where it is at. Huge focus on a quality product as well as repairability and interoperability between parts.

Wasn’t aware of this, thanks!
Do Frameworks still use that goofy resolution that makes it close to impossible scale the UI properly on Linux?
Yeah, but fractional scaling works fairly well on Wayland
