You sound like you would be a Framework fan. Practical, sustainable and pro consumer.
All of these other laptops have glued in batteries, soldered RAM and plastic cases - They will not last you 23 years. My brothers 2 year old laptop had its casing cracked because the plastic was weaker than the stiffness of the hinge. I spent a week sending emails, phoning shops and searching websites looking for a replacement casing, but no one sold them. Now the laptop has to be replaced for ~$900 as it cannot be closed or even moved due to the massive hole in the case. If he had bought a framework it would be $100 and fixed by Tuesday.
Everyone wants them to succeed, but they are tiny compared to the giants in the sector. If they cant survive and continue supplying replacement parts and upgrades into the future, the concept kind of falls apart.
