I like what Framework is doing but I think you're overestimating its likely impact on e-waste. If more devices were made this way it would realize some savings but there'd still be a lot of churn because stuff goes obsolete.
The biggest source of gratuitous pointless e-waste isn't laptops anyway. It's pointless "IoT" devices and random gimmicky e-bullshit like that ridiculous "AI pin" that made the rounds.
I don't think what laptop you buy has any effect on climate change. Replacing coal is like 40% of that problem, then as much oil as we can, then gas, in that order, and everything else is a rounding error. Your Framework modules don't help if they're manufactured with coal power and shipped with the same bunker diesel that ships Apple products over here.
