No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

If I bought a framework laptop I would not physically be able to stop fiddling with it. I think I may end up spending more money in the long run. It's too configurable for its own good.

I wonder if they'll ever consider adding an e ink screen option, with a separate normal screen. There have been a few concept laptops like that, but I don't think the demand is enough to actually make that profitable, but if it was just a configuration option of an otherwise more normal laptop, then I could see it being viable.
