You know what’s even better than easily changed thermal paste?
A laptop that doesn’t need it changed.
Land Rover guys love to say how easy they are to repair, and forget to mention they need ten times as many repairs as other vehicles.
This exactly.
My post was not a fiery indictment of framework, more that I am musing that perhaps I have been duped. Not because they aren't repairable (they are), but because I didn't consider that the quality would be so much lower than other options.
I genuinely don't know which is cheaper or better for the environment: buying a macbook that I change out every 8-10 years (this is how long they would last, based on prior experience), or I buy a framework and change out parts as they fail.
