Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I'm finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It's a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I'm happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

    I have the Framework 12th gen DIY edition and I love it. I love not worrying that if I break any part of it, I won't have to throw the whole thing away. I love that it adapts to what I need with the interchangeable expansion cards. I've had it for 6 months now and I still love using it. Definitely recommend.
