hi everyone, i was planning on getting a new laptop cheaply for about 500ish but then i stumbled upon this near-totally modular laptop rhat starts out at above 1000 bucks. do you think the cheaper laptop in the long run is just a false economy and i should go for the framework or what? if you want to ask questions go ahead but im mainly concerned about the longterm financials (and how well it will keep up over time)

The waiting time heavily depends on whether you want Intel or Ryzen, and whether you want 13 or 16 inch.

13 inch Intel should ship pretty much instant even now as far as I know, the just released Ryzen now has to catch up with pre-orders first, and 16" isn't yet released AFAIK.

I bought a refurbished 11th gen Intel back in March and that got here in just a few days and I can't say anything about it didn't feel brand new. Have been using it almost daily since.
