I like the idea of a repairable/upgradable/modular laptop. However, to really buy in to the idea I want more than a promise of future upgradability. I'd really like to see a company roadmap that shows expected future dates of upgrade releases.

Show me if you're expecting to put out new CPU upgrade parts every 1, 2, 3 or 5 years.

Show me what type/generation of graphic card is available and your expectation of how far behind graphic card modules will lag behind current gen cards, 1,3,5,10 years?

Show me how long I'll expect to have to wait to double my storage, or ram.

And most of all, what are the target price points of current and future upgrades.

roadmaps are meaningless. talk is cheap. Just ask anyone who has ever bought into a "live service" video game, or countless other ambitious but later abandoned products.

Here's what I can say for sure. The options for future upgrades will be correlated with the sales figures of the base laptop.
