Cool, but $1699 Euros seems a bit much, no? ~$1800 US

They have cheaper devices, starting at ~850€, but I agree they are a bit expensive over all. They can't really compete with the big players out there, as their volumes are rather small.

Sadly this is the same with framework laptops or fairphone's devices as well. They are great products, but their price to value ratio is way worse than these big companies.

Luckily if I need devices that these companies produce, I will definitely buy from them.

With Framework, you're also paying to be able to upgrade. I like the idea of getting a new GPU and just popping it in.

I dunno, people spend 2k on Apple products that they can't even game on. Add 50€ and you have 32GB of RAM.
