Good luck putting a new i7 into your 7 year old Dell.
I don't get your point. Isn't it obvious that you should be comparing 7 year old Dell to 7 years old framework laptop and new Dell to new framework? What does you comparing old Dell to new framework prove?
Because the entire point of framework is that in 7 years you can keep everything and swap a new mainboard in.
Upgrading your 7 year old laptop with a 0 year old processor.
that's the entire point of a framework laptop
With Dell you also run the risk of inadvertently buying sodimm machines that can't even be upgraded (like the XPS 13).
You can't buy a framework that can't be upgraded.
Ok, that's interesting. I guess the only thing is that there are no 7 years old framework laptops. But if the company actually survives 7 years I agree it will be a more upgradable laptop.
