Framework’s entire business model is based upon the notion that their computers are modular and repairable. Their laptops do that well, I’ll give you that.

However, when they come out with a desktop PC, which most desktop PCs currently are modular by default, it feels a but redundant. However when you make a desktop PC, and then you solder your RAM and CPU, then that just defeats the entire purpose of: 1. A desktop PC, 2. Your company’s business model.

Framework, the company which built its entire brand identity around not being like the others computers by being repairable, modular, and upgradable, has created a desktop PC and took away the ability to upgrade your CPU and RAM.

The worst part is that people are eating it up because it will be a “Mac Studio Killer”, which is true only because Apple is neglecting the Mac Studio. People are voluntarily accepting that a company that promotes repairability, upgradability and modularity is creating a device that SHOULD be upgradeable but is not.
