I wanted a Framework when I was pricing out a new work laptop, but at the time it was going to be months before they'd have what I wanted ready for shipping and I couldn't wait that long. I ended up getting a crazy good deal on a laptop with 64GB of ram. That being said, I still wish I had a Framework compared to this thing.

Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice!

It was an HP Elitebook with 64GB of ram and 1TB nvme drive for $800 (it had stacked discounts at the time). The price then shot up a month later to twice that, so I can't really regret it based on the current ram price insanity. Still, my coworker just got a framework a few months ago and I can't help feeling jealous. I am mostly annoyed by the lack of built in ethernet port, fuck wifi.

Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one.

I mean, I did the same, but I've tried a few now from reputable brands and they keep timing out or just not working properly until I reboot.
