These look great Dwayne!

Hopefully we’ll see more like this as I’m fairly sure that the EU and other govts are pushing for more repairable eco-friendly products. I think most people take a dim view of products with obsolescence built in now too - we really shouldn’t be manufacturing products that can’t be repaired easily. Some of the worst offenders are items with non-replaceable batteries, it’s insane how manufacturers expect you to throw them out or replace them just because the batteries have died.

A lot of today’s gadgets (laptop, phones, etc.) are basically super expensive “throw away” items which is just ridiculous. I understand that not everyone wants to or is even able to repair and fix devices but for those of us who are not afraid to open the cover, it is a pain. There are so many laptops that are just completely unrepairable and definitely unupgradable. iFixIt’s score of 0/10 for Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 2 is a prime example. Microsoft is doing much better now with the Surface Laptop 4 at a 5/10 but still…they ALL need to do better…

From Framework Support: “If you were to purchase the DIY Edition you have the option of choosing no OS which allows you to bring your own. We are currently testing Ubuntu.”

So hopefully that gets pushed to the front of the queue
