>you can just use type C, you still get the benefit of the sacrificial modules which is the primary purpose of them
buying a new laptop and wasting precious and rare resources to not spend a little over 100$ on an port replacement at an shop is not worth it over just buying a comparable used laptop for half the price. You still save on port replacements and are also more sUstAiNaBlE and are also owning le corpos buy not buying new shit and using old stuff until its true end of life.
>You seem to be seething because framework isn't exactly what you want, that they didn't design them for every port possible under the sun. You are being disingenuous, again, because there is just no defending a grift.
when did i say that it has too little options? Not once.

What i am saying is that its retarded and overpriced for what it is. There ARE methods for simple repairs. I CAN even just switch out the usb-c board in my phone when the port is broken instead of overpaying for some modular gimmick port. You CAN just switch out parts in the steam deck without soldering. And all of this still costs a fraction of what these framework gimmicks cost.

I mean the base version of their newest laptop has 8gb of ram in 2025 for crying out loud. Its the same shit apple is pulling for making you pay more for a proper version. Its just a grift riding the right to repair wave like i said before.
