did this once rn and just noticed how pricey it can get outside the us, heres hoping it gets better by the time i need a new computer.
i think the last thing the framework needs to be a true killer is 3rd party adoption of their standards, like aibs and such. is this too much of a pipe dream?
It's pricey inside the US also.
My laptop actually just died yesterday. But if I wanted one of these I'd be paying out the ass and going without a laptop for several months.
I don't believe in pre-ordering, so I bought a framework from the ships immediately pile. I was in your situation, my last laptop had died and i needed a new one. I just speced out "good enough", and ordered. I'm still quite happy with my framework 13.
Gonna see if I can't get mine fixed first. If not I'll have to bite the >$1k bullet.
The framework 13 is shipping today, you can buy the base configuration for 850 USD and then upgrade later. just a option
It's literally not usable in the $850 config
Also apart from the expansion cards, the ram and SSD are quite cheaper to get elsewhere, especially if you can reuse your old laptop's. So it's still possible to get a sub 1k config.
My old laptop is DDR4. I Guess I can reuse the SSD so that'll save me $50...
Get one second hand
It's already pretty hard to get new. I doubt I would be able to find one used where I live. But then again I hope this pricing/availability issue is solved soon.
