I am not sure what is so fascinating about Framework laptops. They are pretty expensive and are, in fact, one more Chinese OEM production - they are produced by Taiwanese Compal Electronics, which has factory in Kunshan (China).

It is hard to build a legend around something like this.

MacBooks are produced in China too (as everything), but they have that "legacy" of being a cult product from U.S.A.

We manufacture in Taiwan, not China, and the design is ours, not Compal’s.
