The mainboard is what appears to go wrong and it ends up being the same price as many competing laptops.
Maybe this will be different with the pro, but no one knows until they actually ship.
As for the Framework 16, I brought a 5070TI laptop recently for around 1200$ after a nice rebate. After a bit of complaining( which was also needed to honor the rebate ), they added a second year warranty too.
For the Framework 16, with the 5070 addon(which has 8GB of VRAM compared to the 12GB on the 5070TI).
Sure, the framework might be better, but is it worth twice as much ?
