    LTT have high praise to the ability to replace the individual components in the Framework, like the trackpad and the screen.

    I guess laptops are seen in a different light compared to phones, but I don’t think they should be. Not anymore.

      Yes, but replacing the track pad is ALSO in the context of “you can have the latest and greatest laptop CPU.”

      You just can’t do that with the Fairphone.

      A Framework could hypothetically last forever. A Fairphone still has an 8 year lifespan.

      It isn’t just the promise of the ability to replace these components, but the ability to upgrade them.
