The big thing you get with frameworks is super simple repairability. This means service manuals, parts availability, easy access to components like the battery, RAM, ssd, etc. Customizable ports are also a nice feature. You can even upgrade the motherboard later down the line instead of buying a whole new laptop.
I recently upgraded my 12th gen Intel with a new gorgeous matte screen and the process didn't take more than 5 minutes, despite one of my arms being in a cast!
Curious as I want to also make this change. We're you able to sell your old display? Or did you repurpose it.
Ehh I should do one of those two but it's just sitting in storage as a spare.
