The current 13in with a weak intel processor is $1850

Is not at all a weak processor. Intel currently makes the best x86 mobile processors on the market. The entire point is that you don't have to buy a whole new computer when you upgrade. You just get an updated motherboard and slap it into the existing chassis.

The upgrade cost for the motherboard (say you want to switch to AMD), will cost you $900. For that $3k you can buy 3 Dells all with ram and storage.

And all 3 will be outdated when it comes time to upgrade. And they'll all be shittier than the Framework.

they aren't positioned well without RAM as their newer ones use LPCAMM2

That is 1 of 5 computers they sell.
