Framework’s modular, repairable laptop out in the wild

Remember Framework, the company building a repairable, modular laptop? The first reviews are in, and it seems they're quite positive - people are wondering why none of the other big OEMs are capable of making a thin, light, and sturdy laptop with this amount of upgradeability and repairability. Linus from Linus Tech Tips made a long, detailed video about the laptop as well, and was so impressed he bought one right away.

I have to say - this laptop has me very, very intrigued. It hits all the right buttons, with the only major uncertainty being just how long a relatively small company like this can stay afloat, to ensure a steady stream of future upgrades. It seems anyone can make new modules and new parts for this laptop, though, so hopefully a community of makers springs up around it as well.

In any event, I'm hoping to get my hands on a review unit, because we really need to know how well Linux runs on this machine.
