@eri even for a #Laptop or #Tablet I consider the #FrameworkDesktop a total "#WontBuy!" on my end, as it has less #Upgradeability and #Repiarability than a #Lenovo #X230Tablet or #Fairphone #FP3plus, mich less anything I consider "#Desktop" hardware.

• Seriously, @frameworkcomputer could've chosen so much better options or just done some sort of Mounting, adaptors & I/O shield to mount a #FrameworkLaptop mainboard and expand it's I/O to be on-par with a #MacMini and people would've happily accepted that.

It's really sad when #DIYperks put in more effort than an entire company at designing a Desktop!

@philpem @foone mind you these were made before #JEDEC specified #SODIMM|s and RAM manufacturers like #Infenieon (#Qimonda) and #Micron as well as the trend towards #configureability & #repairability as well as #upgradeability kicked off...

@markstos @MickInTx anyways, it still looks like a proprietary product, where one can flash/install own OS.

The cost for software - I don't want and won't use - is included in the price.

Also, it doesn't seem to be using much of standards for components. Good luck with #repairability or #upgradeability after years.

There are NAS cases from brands, and also no-brand ones on AliExpress (I bought one), that can fit standard mATX/ITX/ATX motherboard - repairable/upgradeable on component level.

@damngoodtech In the end it's a consumer's choice.

People need to be #TechLiterate enough to value #repairability (and #upgradeability) over making tue thinnest devices possible.

Now granted, both @frameworkcomputer amd @Fairphone did manage to design #thinn yet repairable devices, proving that all the #AntiRepair-Arguments are corporate propaganda lies!

Personally I'd accept even #thicc'er devices if that means they'd use more #COTS and less #custom parts...
