    Either skip upgrading, buy used, wait for prices to drop, or start saving.

    I have a used machine, until I can afford to get something new. Maybe in a little while I’ll get a framework. (I think that if the 16” gets a pro model I’d definitely get one.)

      Yeah I don’t really do new technology any more. I’m more into keeping the old machines running as long as possible.

        Honestly, that’s why the last laptop I bought (over a year ago, now) was a Framework that I put Linux on. I haven’t had to change anything out yet, but I like that it’ll be easier when I do.

            I’m not trying to screw the government or anything. I’m just trying to spend less money and throw fewer things in the landfill. The government part is just a nice perk.

              Have you seen whats going on in 3DPrinting land? Absolute insanity that they are basically outlawing personal computing. Bets that these dumbfucks make owning shapes illegal next.
