I doubt this is news to anyone here, but always good to see positive coverage of the Deck

I would like it to beasier though. I hope that one modular laptop takes off enough to become a widespread thing.

Well, if we don't buy Framework laptops, no competitors will rise.

they are being bought fast enough that you can't get them without pre-order so far

I imagine part of that is low production as well since they don't strike me as a huge company by computer manufacturing standards.

yeah its still pretty much running in a kickstarter type of mode. Still you can buy the modules now which is pretty huge compared to when they started.

The 13 inch Intel ones aren't a pre-order - you can just order them.

The AMD 13 inch and the 16 inch laptop are both releasing soon and are on pre-order.
