What about buying a used framework?

    The reason used ThinkPads are so easy to find in good condition at bargain prices is because management in corporations just lease them for 3-5 years and continuously replace them even if they don't actually need to do so. They probably don't even know that they can last decades but accounting wants a lease, so they get a lease.

    There isn't a similar "infinite supply" of used frameworks that constantly drives prices down
