For me the appeal is that when a feature that I don't currently have becomes available it's straight forward for me to upgrade.

When the next iteration of motherboards come out, I won't be buying a new laptop, ideally I will go here https://frame.work/marketplace and just order the one that I want and follow the video guides to install it.

The potential to customize this is huge, larger than any other laptop that I'm familiar with. The ability to self maintain, to fix every piece of the hardware if necessary just makes this thing a win for me.

It remains to be seen how much the promise of upgradability turns into a reality.

I typically buy replace my laptops or desktops after around 6 years. That is a long time to expect things to remain compatible with a chassis.
