No microsoft products. No Bloatware, no spyware. Can be configured, reconfigured, and upgraded whenever you want.

My current clevo laptop is on it's third charging port now and starting to act up again. I am sick of messing with it. The hard drives are compatible with the DIY Framework laptop so I should be able to just put them in there and start it up. I'm sure it will run like crap for a bit until I get all the settings tweaked to the new hardware but that should not be too difficult (hopefully).

I'm about to pull the trigger unless someone smarter than me has a better idea. Looking at you and anyone else who cares to chime in!!

What all do you want to use it for? I used Clevo for a while and got tired of their (often) shotty build quality.

Framework is fairly new but has made splashes and I have them on my short list for when I want to buy/build a new laptop. I just have not needed to since I am usually near my desktop.

I really love that its modular and that I can just pull out a major part like the motherboard, 3d print a case for it and use it as a media center PC or something and slot in a new motherboard/cpu/gpu combo and use the same "case". Also, having the USBC based modules that you can swap out with "whatever" is kind of cool too. You can have one be a regular USBC or you can pull it and turn it into a displayport/HDMI/etc in almost zero time.

Overall, if the sticker cost is not too much for you I doubt you would dislike it and would be able to still "upgrade" it over time while using the "old" parts for other projects/systems/etc and that is pretty cool.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. It's expensive, a little over 22 hundred bucks, before tax. Mostly I do Cad work and 3d printing and then just web shit. I don't need the new hard drives, my current ones will work. I love the upgrade ability.
