can you tell me if a market like India is on your radar? i mean i use an old dell e7440 because the current sold laptops on amazon are basically the same with mostly structural differences and now epidemic of having windows license prices baked in to the product and no way to get without it.
sure, the OEMs have their local websites and you can order from there without windows but your options are seriously limited.
then you have included ram limited to like 8GB for upwards of around 50k inr which is just insane. if one were to do a BOM on these brand new laptops, the markups would be insane.
with something like framework, i could potentially get the products at a same/cheaper rate because it is "upgradeable" and also because i dont have to pay for windows
