Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.
I was really determined to get one, partially because I love the cotton candy pink, don’t judge. But now that memory and ram prices went up, it went from a premium price to absolutely insane. I’m just gonna stick with my old thinkpad another decade or so at this rate.
Yeah, I was about to say: with the prices of new machines nowadays, whenever all mine eventually conk out, I may just try to get used machines for pennies on the dollar at estate sales and revive them with Linux, haha.
motherfuckers acting like those laptops aren’t five hundred bajillion dollars
