  • I really doubt they will.

    The thing to note about Framework laptops is the “starting price” is literally just the system board, the screen, standard American keyboard, and the laptop body. You have to add your own RAM, SSD, all the expansion cards, a charger, and a Windows license (if you don’t use Linux). There’s a reason why the starting cost for a Ryzen 13 is $750 and a “pre-configured” system is $1100.

    Sure they’ll save some money from using a plastic body instead of an aluminum one, but that’s not the bulk of the cost, assuming they’re still committed to using the same system board form factor as the 13 & 16. I’d consider it a win if they get a fully configured 12 for sub-$800.

    Also Trump’s tariffs have to be factored in for US buyers.







  • Taxpayers deserve to have us take a thorough look at our workforce top-to-bottom to see where we can eliminate redundancies.

    Great! I think there are some job titles that are obviously inefficient or redundant. We should fire everyone whose title is:

    1. Acting. We don’t need actors; we need committed employees!
    2. Under-secretary. If we have a secretary, we don’t need a redundant one!
    3. Any title involving the name of a meme coin. We already have the USD; that’s good enough!
    4. Whatever title Elon Musk has. His entire existence is inefficient and redundant.
