    I’d buy one if I needed a laptop, but my current laptop still works just fine. its not my fault that a $500 laptop from 6 years ago came witn 16GB of memory and a 4.20 GHz Intel chip that can do literally everything I need a laptop to do today.

    or maybe i should just buy stuff to prove a point.

      Same boat here. My workplace gave me my old laptop when they upgraded me. It’s not great, but I don’t need it for much. Just browsing the internet.

    compares framework to

    Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus,

    “strange: it doesn’t compete.”

    “strange: my local burger shop won’t compete with mcdonalds.”

    “strange: the super market around the corner doens’t have as high sales as unilever. perhaps people don’t like local food.”

    Wrong

    Almost no one can afford one*

    If they drastically lowered the price, a ton of people would buy them, and it would pay out much faster than having “$9999” and waiting for a few people to pay off their investment -_-
