    Lol, who is the target audience then? It’s certainly not regular people. They will never take apart their computers. The Framework is 100% marketed at tinkerers and DIYers. (It’s literally called the DIY edition when you buy it.)

    I’m not a computer repair person. I have repaired my own computers, but that’s not my job. So I’m not sure if that’s what you meant, but no, I’m not a professional repair tech.

    I don’t own that ASUS. I own a Framework. I regret buying it. It’s absolutely not worth the extra price. I’ve already had to buy a new battery for it after two years, because they use cheap, shitty parts, despite charging out the nose for them. So yeah, I wish I had just bought an ASUS.

        I already paid the money for the Framework. They tricked me. They got my money. I already lost.

        When it eventually dies, I will not consider another Framework. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me… you can’t get fooled again.

          you can sell the Framework. There is quite a large market for used ones, as most of their customers don’t seem to agree with you.
