> the only thing you will be able to replace is the battery and the screen. Both which 99% users never have to replace.

This is sarcasm, I hope, right? The two most consumable items in the laptop (specially for OLED screens), and you're suggesting users have no need to replace them?

Yes that's exactly what I'm suggesting. The two things I never had to replace since I got my first laptop in the late 90s, not do I know anyone who had to replace those.

Literally the battery is the only thing I had to replace on every laptop I've had.

		Well I have had to replace hinges, upgrade RAM, replace the battery, change HDD to SSD, replace a broken keyboard, an entire enclosure and finally a dying motherboard after 11 years of use. The laptop is still working but it could have really used a screen upgrade. Maybe standard screen definition is now good enough, RAM big enough, SSD more durable, shell more durable (although I have to say that's a disappointment with the fw) and hinges longer lasting, and maybe Framework is fighting the last war but that's the reason I went for one anyways. This is a long run bet and if it doesn't pan out to be an amazing deal, it will still a better experience than the previous one. It costed more than my previous laptop but no more or less what I have had to pay to maintain the previous one. If it had been a framework, it would still be my workhorse. Future will tell

The screen can be understood, screens just work, and without physical damage, they keep working.

But the battery degrades even if it is not being used. For whatever reason, you are misinforming people here.
