    absolutely

    while It is a little weaker than the competition and at a higher price, It’s a piece o tech that will last far longer

    in 5 or 10 years you would only need to pay for a new cpu or gpu, meanwhile with other brands you’d have to buy a new laptop altogether

    and having the ability to swap your IO whenever and with whatever you need, is a game changer for some folks

          have to say I have had the same concern. it could happen, any business can fold. I just bought a new AMD 13 anyway. I’ve decided that the right to repair (and, lol, option to repair, even) is far more important than maximizing my dollar to fps ratio and I’m happy to add my contribution to the cause

            Well, we know their model is dead if they go public. If they remain private, they could still die but it’s less certain. 🥹

          Many of the components are standard, you can get them from anywhere. Bunch of others are open source. The only real concern is cpu/gpu
