Framework has started selling the Laptop 13 without a mainboard. Available at a heavy discount over DIY and pre-built configurations, the Framework Laptop 13 Shell retails for $399 and can be complemented by AMD, Intel and RISC-V based mainboard solutions.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Framework-Laptop-13-Shell-now-available-for-399-for-AMD-Intel-and-RISC-V-processors.958153.0.html
i'll consider it when Risc-v becomes available to windows & has more powerful compute hardware. Currently its still too early stage. They need to make massive leaps before any considerable adoption otherwise they remain SBC and HATs products
Correction: Framework Laptop 13 Shell now available* in select countries.
I don't understand why Framework still refuses to ship worldwide.
