I'm not sure why the Framework laptop is getting so much credit for being upgradable - the main board upgrade (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mog6T9Rd93I) seems to be an identical process as my Dell Precision 5530.

legit question, does Dell offer a drop-in generational upgrade for your machine? I think the main appeals are:

1) its simple to repair or upgrade. If Dell's design is also simple to work on then that's great!

2) A culture of providing replacement and upgrade parts affordably to the end user. In addition to the I/O modules and replacement parts, so far framework has the upgradeable mainboard, an upgraded top cover with more rigidity, and an improved hinge kit.
