hi everyone, i was planning on getting a new laptop cheaply for about 500ish but then i stumbled upon this near-totally modular laptop rhat starts out at above 1000 bucks. do you think the cheaper laptop in the long run is just a false economy and i should go for the framework or what? if you want to ask questions go ahead but im mainly concerned about the longterm financials (and how well it will keep up over time)

    I found the SSD swapping very useful on my framework. I have been working with a legacy codebase this last year and needed to test whether I could migrate the dev environment from Windows 10 to 11. Swapping that SSD made it easy and low risk to do that. I’ve since upgraded from 1TB to 2TB, using Clonezilla and an external enclosure. Again, swapping the SSD out made that feasible, cheap and easy.
