I have been looking at them a lot recently and they have a premium price is it worth it?

What does it look like when you want to upgrade? Like can you just swap out all parts over time and essentially it’s like having a custom desktop, but in small form factor.

Can you buy a base model and upgrade components over time?

Would it suit my use cases for it? Which are to run Linux, I have to use Windows as a Software Dev and so can’t do it on my main. Can I run Minecraft on Linux? I know, but I like that game it makes me happy to unwind.

I want to get more into cyber security related tasks and most likely increase my Darknet activities using Tails.

    I got an Intel 12th Gen laptop but wanted an AMD 7040 gen CPU. I was going to live overseas for a while so shipping laptops via air is questionable.

    So I bought the 12th gen and then a year later upgraded the main board. No issues other than VeraCrypt being annoyed.

        You can upgrade literally everything on it.

        They just released a new high refresh rate screen for the 13 inch. I’m seeing if it’s worth buying.

        Wonder if the old display can be used as a portable monitor? I would assume so.

            I may have missed it, but as of now, framework doesn’t offer the controller board by itself just yet.

            Knowing them, it’s probably not too far away.
