I got the EVO-X2 for $1,599! In 44+ years of buying computers, I've seen some appreciation, but nothing like this. Going from $1,599 to ~$3,500 in a year is just insane.
reply128GB of the most in demand chip on the planet will do that to you.
replySame spec Framework costs $4k+ today, this is actually cheaper (albeit not as upgradable as framework).
replyFramework, weirdly, overcharges considerably for their SSDs. You can currently get a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB on Amazon for $390; Framework charges $625 for the Sandisk 850x 2TB, which has similar performance (and is being sold on Amazon for $530).
replyIf you DIY your own SSD, you can spec a Framework Desktop for below $4k; but not much below. Roughly the same price.
