Well... Not from Framework.

That's...what we were discussing?

I looked one up and it was £700 for the main board or £1300 for the whole laptop.

That's...nearly half the price.

I mean, sure it's probably not as good a laptop.

Oops, half the price and also not comparable.

If your laptop breaks are you going to spend £700 on a new main board that might fix it, or £800 on a new laptop that definitely works.

I'm definitely going to pay the 700 to have a better laptop rather than the 800 on a disposable laptop from a company with the worst reputation for customer/warranty support in the business.

You have to be prepared to keep them long term in order for them to make sense.

It definitely doesn't make sense for upgrading

It definitely does. And you've just demonstrated exactly how. If you don't care about money or quality or respect then maybe it doesn't to you.
