Ever opened up the average laptop? They look like someone threw the list of component dimensions at a bin packing algorithm, let it run for a couple of minutes, then added some extra plastic struts to fill the dead space.

It feels like nobody* else is even _trying_.

That makes it sound like there's a lot of end on the premium end of the market.

They are obviously doing a great job at what they set out to do but besides reparability and customization I don't think they are really ahead in anything compared to some premium Windows laptops.

Apart from Framework, Purism also care about users opening up their laptops: https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_14/Maintenance/Disassembly.html
