Can't you do the same thing with a Thinkpad?


(Putting aside that Thinkpad is a specific brand, whereas keyboard replacability is generally device-specific)

That Thinkpad model's keyboard replacement steps look way easier than Framework's.


When I spilled a mug of tea on my Thinkpad, I didn't have to replace anything.

Of course there are plenty of laptops that have tons of great features, including repairability, though many laptops have been getting less repairable in recent years (even Thinkpads), so a laptop that makes this a reliable core feature, especially if it even means you can swap ports around, apparently, is absolutely interesting.
