I dont own one but the reason I decided against one is that a max spec one is expensive (16in). GPU is not really all that hotswappable either (about 5 -10 min work).
And the worst offender imo is: I cant see a reason why I would need an upgradeable device. Sure I can upgrade singular components and reduce cost but how often is that going to happen? More likely i have to do it in batches which hinders the money saving aspect significantly.
On top of that im not super convinced about the build quality (speakers for example are really important to me as well as battery life) and it just wasnt worth it to me. Love the repairability aspect but it would very much be an ethics based purchase than one because I am convinced by the product.
Instead went with an M3 pro macbook and as far as battery, screen and general build quality go I am super happy with it. Very antithetical to framework though :(
