I just upgraded the processor in my Framework 13, and all things considered, it went well. Most importantly, it was easy. I also upgraded the webcam, which took about five minutes to swap. The original machine with a Ryzen 7640U was $1k, and the HX 370 mainboard upgrade was $1k. You could probably get a “better” laptop for $2k, but it wouldn’t be nearly as repairable or upgradable. You’d also only have a single computer. With a framework upgrade, you get two machines.
