Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.
But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn’t going to go under anytime soon.
I’m debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?
If your needs ever change to require you plugging in more than 4 things, will need to buy a new device. A new device like the new Framework 16, with 6 entire ports.
There is no reason they couldn’t have gone with a single IO board with all of the ports they offer included. That can be replaced just as easily as the dongles. That would be a better solution.
