Linus invests in Framework laptop company

Good luck to them. While I am some what interested in a laptop like this... Until you can upgrade the CPU/GPU down the line, I don't have much reason to abandon my usual Gaming laptop or my Dell XPS as those can already upgrade the RAM/SSD/Wifi Module. And they generally don't break for 3-4 years of use which by that time, I'll replace them anyway. If they can make a laptop where down the line, you can upgrade just the GPU like you can with a PC, then I'll be interested.

That would require a custom solution. It comes around in the office every so often and I have to remind everyone we already have more projects than we can juggle and are running low on disposable money regardless... 

Well I am not saying they need to do that asap. But if they are successful, they should do something like that as while Framework laptop is interesting enough, Dell XPS 15/17 laptops are already quite repairable/up-gradable while having quite the premium feel, especially with the tiny bezels. Plus, Framework can already sort of do it by allowing you to replace the motherboard which houses the CPU and you can technically upgrade from an i5 to an i7 by only needing to replace the motherboard. If they can somehow expand on that and say, 4 years down the line, give gen 1 users an upgrade path even if they need to replace the motherboard, then I think that would still be plenty.
