Yeah they are expensive but unlike every other laptop on the market they're also upgradable so you won't have to buy another laptop in 2 years.

Also if you don't put Windows on it you probably will going to be able to run it for maybe 10 years and just upgrade it as things go wrong with it.

The biggest thing that kills laptops, the thing that's killed every laptop I've ever had, has been the battery dying, if framework only sold a user a replaceable battery it would be worth the cost of entry.
