It would be nice if they partnered with fairphone.

cool - but if their product lines are modular and they try to break out of their niche market. whats to stop someone with a lot more capital from snapping them up (Dell, Lenovo, etc)?
Nothing, but it'd still be a win for the consumer because then we'd have repairable/customizable laptops across the board?
We've also seen other brands aren't interested in it because it's harder to make smaller/thinner laptops when they need to be customizable. Also they make more money from having people throw out their old laptops and buying a new one.

This nonsense company is too expensive for regular people
Yeah I had hoped they would aim for a bigger market reach
What's your price point?
This is my issue with Fairphone too. I love the idea and execution and I understand those things cause the product to be more expensive but twice the price to comparable products is just too steep for me.
Do they offer touchscreens for the laptops yet? I’ve been waiting for that to get one, I won’t get a laptop without it.
