@bastetfurry @janet_catcus @frameworkcomputer not to mention whilst tooling up for reinforced plastic is more expensive than CNC'ing aluminium or get that sheetmetal-pressed, the cost per unit goes down way easier as said plastic parts are less abrasive to tools and one set of shells can be used to injection-mould several thousand cases at a higher speed, reducing tge time and space needed per unit.

  • Also mind you the replacement parts prices will OFC be higher than the cost of manufacturing, cuz every "FRU" or "CRU" on it's own generates a new SKU to inventory and manage, whereas just combining multiples to make a "#Framework12" unit is not adding much.

OFC I do expect this thing, which is basically a modern spin on the "#IntelClassmate" #Laptop to not have extreme high-end and be designed with a specific price point in mind.

  • Propably do a rubbery keyboard and better ingress protection to make it more viable for handibg out to schoolchildren.

Add to it that Framework isn't #Quanta, #Clevo or #Foxconn and we ain't talking #MacBook margins, but given they didn't release specs nor MSRP but are eager to get #bulk orders from #education customers, that seems the trajectory they're going.

  • Shurely they could easy do a "€299" offering with an N100, 128GB NVMe & 8GB RAM if one were to order like 10.000 and pay upfront, but I do expect them to rather go with like a N300 instead so these devices ain't dead slow and can survive 6 years of 8x5 use in an elementary/middle school setting.

Costco apparently sells tallow in bulk pack jars, and was (briefly) tempted to get a bunch to slather on bicycle seats, hiking boots, LOL. It might also make you popular with dogs and potential dates (if you're single)... "What's that cologne you're wearing? Beef?" #tallow #bulk #costco
