I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I’d be interested in the Framework laptop. What I like are the replaceability and upgradeability of parts, and the fact it is not (to my knowledge) tied to any large corporation.

However, they are not available for Switzerland, and there is no telling if and when they will be. I’m not dead set on having replaceable parts, but I’d at least like to have something that would not cause issues if I were to install a Linux distrib’ on it (I had a Surface Pro, and had trouble setting up a Mint on it due to missing drivers for the keyboard). And helping smaller companies is a nice plus.

What would your recommendations be?

    Just fyi, there plastic can be pretty bad. I have two of their laptops and they use very cheap plastic. Both have the hinges messed up. I can’t take them anywhere anymore.

    Love popos and their desktops, but until they fix their laptops, I wouldn’t buy one of them again.
