Buzzwords, hype, and #plannedobsolescence for no other reason than financial gain and #patent #evergreening https://stop.zona-m.net/2021/04/i-live-in-two-worlds-that-do-not-talk-to-each-other/
Just in case you were speculating about why items seem to "wear out" instead of last forever. It's been planned that way by corporate leaders. The ones who try their best to control your life from cradle to grave.

Dave2D has thoughts on the Framework modular laptop - https://youtu.be/jmgBwMHpP1w
FIRST: I love the Framework repairability/disassemble-ability/modularity concept. I agree with Dave on that. Now with that out of the way, to Dave's question about my thoughts, what could Framework do to maybe better their chance in the market:
Maybe Framework can design a cheaper device, heck use the same chassis if they like, and fit in an Atom/Pentium-M processor, 4GBs of DDR4 RAM, a 256GB eMMC, have two expansion ports instead of four, and then sell it at Netbook prices...
Maybe not even a Pentium-M motherboard; how about a Raspberry Pi, or something Arduino-based.
Scrounge up some contracts with elementary or junior-high schools... Just to get the volume pricing for the modular parts... And maybe even prepare an upgrade path for the "netbook" packages, where you can upgrade the internals into a "real", "competent/usable" laptop...
