a friend just told me about Framework laptops and it seems like a compelling philosophy of laptop design: it's modular and user-serviceable, and indeed they ship it to you in bits with a screwdriver šŸ˜…

Curious if anyone here has had any experience with them. Some reports on the internet that they have fan noise / temperature troubles?

I think with these things I often worry that I'm letting the philosophy / aesthetics of the purchase get in the way of the practicality

on the other hand, look I can get a programmable LED matrix embedded in it frame.work/gb/en/products/16-lā€¦

I've used them; they seem roughly on par with an 80th percentile laptop PC, physically/aesthetically. Definitely not as nice as a MacBook or Razer laptop, but similar to a nicer Dell.

Compared to other ideology-driven laptops I've used (System76, Purism), they're much much much nicer.
