    The sad thing is you only need one company to enter the market with aggressive prices so the others are forced to react (and admit they were abusing their clients).

    That’s what happened in France with Free, and now everyone can have 15 to 30€ good internet. Caps are something never heard of. Later they did the same thing with mobile networks and now most of Europe have cheap unlimited no roaming etc. Zero company went bankrupt, they just had to learn how to reduce their margins.

    As a result I have a 10Gb/10Gb fiber with tv for 40$

    I’m buying one as soon as they publish the how-to manual for the GPU upgrade.

    It is actually shipped with a Radeon RX 7700S but on the website they say:

    Can I upgrade the discrete graphics card later? Yes! If you ever need more graphics performance in the future or if you purchase your Framework Laptop 16 with only an Expansion Bay Shell, you can upgrade to a new Graphics Module with a new GPU installed. We publish step-by-step guides you can follow to perform the upgrade yourself.

    Except that the step-by-step guide for that is nowhere to be found and I don’t think a lot of manufacturer are already building GPU with this form factor.

    Finger crossed for the future, but I definitely want one with those useless hence obligatory LED spacers around the keyboard.
