7. The Framework company is constantly releasing new versions of parts:
— motherboards with new processors
— new screens with better DPI
— better camera
— higher capacity batteries.

You can update the laptop at home with reasonable amount of money.

8. Framework laptop has modular ports with extensions slots.

You can choose which ports you will have today (microSD or full SD, HDMI on the side where you have of the projector, DisplayPort, 2 audio jacks).

9. It’s a nice feeling when you help not a big corporation, but a small motivated team.

The announcements are not bullshit slides, but the CEO himself tells in the back room what has been changed and why (and even talks honestly about the limitations).

10. Framework has amazing support.

The CEO himself reads the forum and answers there sometimes.

They really help with Linux.

They don’t turn away from strange questions (for example, they gave a guide of what to fix on motherboard for one rare request).

11. You can use Linux on Framework (it’s even officially supported).

Which means you will have Docker running natively.

On Linux Docker is just an FS/processes namespace with no extra cost of CPU, not as a Linux in virtual machine like on a Mac.

12. With Framework, you have a real sense of owning the laptop (rather than renting it from a big company).

You know how it works inside, and it’s not a “magical black box”.

The same laptop can evolve with you.

13. Framework is now something unique and unusual, a good way to stand out, like unusual clothing.

A good ice-breaker at a conference.

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

14. Having Framework means that you do not support Apple, who helping Chinese and Russian regimes by banning VPNs in App Store or antiwar songs in iTunes

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

15. Of course, it's not a very common scenario, but the Framework laptop extension cards are just USB-C adapters.

So any of them can be taken out and plugged into a phone or other laptop. For example, if your neighbor need HDMI port.
