    I want one real, real bad. But buying anything with RAM and SSDs in it right now is off the table.

    I also want a Steam Machine and an AM5 based desktop. Also not gonna happen.

      Exactly, I wanted to buy the new fully metal body pro model so bad but the prices are stupid high because of the shortages caused by the AI grift

      That’s the thing: it’s one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

        Yeah. I get it. I don’t have any spare DDR5 SODIMMS or Samsung EVO m.2s laying around.

        The point is that I won’t be upgrading anything anytime soon, and probably a lot of other people are in the same boat. I would love a Framework 16.

        Unless you’re in the top right branch of our current K shaped economy, most people won’t be buying a Framework or a Steam Machine or upgrading their gaming rig right now.
