Every time I price one out, this is the friction I face.
I have a 9 year old Yoga 720 that was my daily driver and have been wanting to upgrade for at least 4 years. I love what the Framework 13 Pro is, and that it finally has a touchscreen but priced out it is over $3,000 CAD.
I finally upgraded, but picked up a refurbished Asus Pro Art 13 for $1,100 CAD instead, which also fit in to my waste-less ideology.
Sorry, no fake internet points for "I almost did it" ๐ Good on ya for buying refurbished though, it's a real gamble sometimes, unfortunately.
