    I really like the idea but two things stop me… one is cost. They’re considerably more expensive than laptops elsewhere. The seconf is the unproven long term uogtwdeability. In 5 years time when I’m looking to upgrade will framewotk be selling parts that let me do that? A new CPU board and I’m sorted… Ot is it a whole new laptop. I suspect the latter.

      1. Have you looked at other laptops elsewhere? They are a very comparable price. This is the going rate for a laptop of that spec.
      2. Unproven upgradability? They are quite literally the ONLY laptop manufacturer to have provided ANY upgradability in the last 5 years. Why are you concerned about them letting you upgrade in 5 years when no one else lets you upgrade even next year?
