Agree with the upgrade path, but I can't justify paying 1k for a midrange model (of any brand). I personally go to the used market, and spend up to 500€ for a ~2 year old machine (which was >1k new).

That's definitely the smart way to buy laptops.

I just wanted to remind people that Framework's pricing is competitive in the segment they are targeting.

Personally I'm with you, buying a 1-2 year old premium machine can save up to 75% off the new retail price, while still getting most of the latest features.
