Framework releasing a Mac Mini was certainly not on my bingo card for this year.

    I wasn’t prepared. I’ve been eyeing a mini for a while and this thing kills it on value compared to what I would get in a similar price point.

    Ok, should I know who framework is? I've been a PC gamer since forever and I've never heard of this company.

    They make repairable laptops.

    repairable and upgradable*

    I know it's an absolutely banal nitpick, but I think it's unfortunately a revelation in the current laptop market that ~90% of a laptop stays good for a really really long time, and the other 10% can be upgraded piecemeal as the need arises. Obviously this was never news to the Desktop world, but laptop manufacturers got away with claiming this was impossible for laptops in the name of efficiency and portability.
