The build quality is excellent. It isn't quite as good as a MacBook, but I'm willing to take the hit from A+ to A- for the repairablity.

It's much better than any other laptop I've used aside from a MacBook Pro. The screen does flex a bit but unless you're actively applying torque to it, you won't notice. It's totally fine when opening and closing it.

True, I love repairability, but then I also love A+ build quality and because I can't try it out, i'm not sure if i will regret it when I got mine later.

Looking at Dave's video, the only thing that's holding me back was when he try to flex the screen :(

Honestly the build quality of MBP is so good that it's holding me back from changing into something else. Hopefully V2 of framework will come with the sturdiness, no brainer for sure

I have a Framework laptop and it's sturdy as hell. At least as much as any MBP I've touched.

Opening it with one hand feels great. The thought of it "feeling like it's going to break" has never crossed my mind.
