Earlier quoted context omitted.
Their product is barely differentiated from other laptops on the market. Having a niche but unique product would be good for them.
I'm sorry but if you believe the Framework is barely differentiated from other offerings, you are missing information or you are okay with laptops being wholly disposable and barely repairable. There is no modern laptop like it where you can keep a chassis and update the thing piecemeal, easily buy parts for it, designed from scratch to be easily repairable and comes by default with a sensible system for choosing you…
As I said, barely differentiable. Baring that, its as standard as a plastic laptop comes.
I'd personally be more interested in a portable than another laptop. Most laptop's I've owned have not needed repair for their lifetimes, and very seldom have I ever even thought about needing to upgrade my laptops "piecemeal" rather than just upgrading the whole thing together.
If I wanted a 16" MBP I'd buy a 16" MBP. Plus it can run MacOS.
What nobody makes is a portable workstation rather than a laptop. Laptops are great if you want situations where you want to use it on your lap - airplanes, airports, coffee shops, your couch, etc.
No that people are moving to a hybrid in-office/at-home work environment, and companies are going to "hot desk" models I want something maybe a bit heavier than a laptop, that I can easily transport from one desk to another another, and not have to spend a bunch of time hooking it up when I get there.
That is something really nobody makes.
