commenter was suggesting that framework allows you to “grow with your budget”

i don’t think this is exactly true in most situations

not rlly wanting to reply to everyone but framework mainboards are price comparable to equivalent entire laptops

i literally want a framework laptop, but selling it to people as a good way to save money isn’t really viable in my opinion

not to be a downer but you could very likely buy a higher performing laptop than even the top framework laptop for less money than even a minimal build
