Very cool concept. I would like to see some different graphics options, but for someone just looking for a professional use laptop, this looks like an interesting option. However to see a $2000+ price tag for worse specs than what you can get for under $1000, this is a hard sell for me.

Get DIY and put your own components in and save 50%. That’s exactly what I did.

As a framework owner, I, too, would like to see them offer one with a 15" display and a real graphics card. I got the 1240 DIY and assembled it with ddr4 memory and a drive purchased elsewhere. The whole thing was just over $1100. Sometimes we've got to pay a little more to have reparable stuff.

Which would you rather have? A mini split with refrigerant included or a system you make yourself?

If they need a professional grade computer for work they can't just settle for something that's not powerful enough

Interesting comparison given my career but nearly every mini-spilt comes with the refrigerant included, and you typically have to weigh in some extra depending how long the lines are.

Yea without a real graphics card this it totally useless to me. I wish I could use it but nope

100%, I guess when I say “professional” I mean, it’s an executive/management office worker laptop lol.

Haha yea that’s fair. Good for 90% of people but not for me trying to do 3D work
