Just curious. Proton takes all of that effort out of the equation, plus I’m willing to bet there aren’t as many driver problems, if there are any at all.

Discrete video or no. That’s also fine, but a lot of vendors provide this option.

Yeah, but not as a user-serviceable module that can be replaced with minimal effort. I think you’re grossly oversimplifying this point.

Are you on Windows or Linux on the 16?

Apple doesn’t provide board-level schematics so that anyone with a good supplier and a steady hand with a soldering iron can fix their motherboard, though. You also can’t replace parts nearly as easily, even on older MacBooks. Swappable ports also help, so that if HDMI or displayport get replaced you can change to the new standard.

Accessing the RAM, wifi, and SSD are only 5 screws away, and they give you a screwdriver in the package.

Basically, Framework has provided so much information that you could practically build one from scratch yourself with enough determination and self-loathing.

It’s the final laptop in the same way that Theseus’s boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you’ll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.

That said, I have an Intel one and it’s a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they’ve partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

If 1000 satellites is all it takes to “erode the atmosphere” to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we’re already fucked a thousand times over.
