I have been looking at them a lot recently and they have a premium price is it worth it?

What does it look like when you want to upgrade? Like can you just swap out all parts over time and essentially it’s like having a custom desktop, but in small form factor.

Can you buy a base model and upgrade components over time?

Would it suit my use cases for it? Which are to run Linux, I have to use Windows as a Software Dev and so can’t do it on my main. Can I run Minecraft on Linux? I know, but I like that game it makes me happy to unwind.

I want to get more into cyber security related tasks and most likely increase my Darknet activities using Tails.

I have a first Gen core i5 Framework 13. I've upgraded a couple components that weren't so great on those units (hinge and speakers) and the upgrades were easy. Otherwise I've been pretty happy with it and haven't felt a need to upgrade the mainboard yet

So you really can upgrade many parts. I never would have imagined hinges would be upgradable.

Yup, they took feedback from customers and have provided modified components for customers that want to purchase them. Speakers, hinges, screens, stiffer chassis. All able to be replaced with the included screwdriver and guides online.
