    Here’s what I got and why:

    CPU: Ryzen™ 7 7840HS - I could have gotten the more expensive one, but based on the Framework forums, they seem identical. If I want a better CPU later, I’ll buy one that actually has a performance boost

    RAM: DDR5-5600 - 32GB (2 x 16GB) - I don’t need 64GB (current system is 32GB and never had any issues). Also heard that more RAM = more time to go to sleep and wake up. Reason I went for two, 16GB sticks instead of one 32GB stick is in my mind - 2 RAM sticks can send memory faster than 1 stick, ya? (Who knows, but yolo)

    Storage: WD_BLACK™ SN850X NVMe™- M.2 2280 - 2TB - I’m perpetually at 1TB on my current laptop, so 2TB sounds good. I cba to deal with a secondary drive

    Expansion Bay Module: Graphics Module (AMD Radeon™ RX 7700S) - Nobrainer, let’s play some games!

    Expansion Cards: DisplayPort (2nd Gen) - 🖕 HDMI. 3 x USB-A so I can plug in mouse/keyboard/headphones. 2 x USB-C so I can plug in a charger and future-proof for the world of USB-C dominance

    It’s pricey, but I haven’t regretted it. I was in the second batch of deliveries for the 16.

    While I like what framework is doing, given that Linus Sebastian is a investor of the company, I don’t think I can support them.

    At least not until the sexual harassment investigation that he promised would be released is finally released and shows no wrongdoing. Although I suspect it was a line it’s never going to get released.

      I think he invested $250k, which my gut says is a very small part of what the company got?

      Don’t buy a computer if you don’t need it obviously, but consider that other companies likely have bad/harmful investors too. Bad people benefiting from a good thing isn’t a reason to hate on the good thing

      This might change if he owned a more significant part of the company

      So what you’re saying is that you’ll never buy anything anymore? Every company has shit investors. Your actual reason is probably more like “It’s too expensive and don’t actually care enough for what they stand for”
