Honestly the Framework isn’t going to be the cheapest laptop if you plan to do a lot of upgrades. If you are upgrading from the 11th gen Intel Framework to the current AMD motherboard, you are going to shell out nearly as much as you would for a new laptop when you factor in the motherboard, RAM, wifi adapter, and possibly new battery.
The ability to be able to replace individual components is incredible and should not be understated. Repair costs are where the Framework excels. It is much easier and cheaper to replace a broken display on the framework than it is a Dell XPS 13. Assuming the motherboard lasts, you can theoretically keep a Framework going for 10 years with minimal costs.
