I want one real, real bad. But buying anything with RAM and SSDs in it right now is off the table.

I also want a Steam Machine and an AM5 based desktop. Also not gonna happen.

    That's the thing: it's one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

    Yeah. I get it. I don't have any spare DDR5 SODIMMS or Samsung EVO m.2s laying around.

    The point is that I won't be upgrading anything anytime soon, and probably a lot of other people are in the same boat. I would love a Framework 16.

    Unless you're in the top right branch of our current K shaped economy, most people won't be buying a Framework or a Steam Machine or upgrading their gaming rig right now.
