The first run of Frameworks had a weak hinge on the monitor, which isn't an uncommon problem with other brands of laptop. With Framework, you can easily replace the hinge, but that's unlikely with most other brands, and you'll need to pay to replace the entire monitor.

Another example, I didn't need an HDMI port anymore, and wanted an extra USB-C instead. Just a few bucks to swap with Framework, but impossible with other laptops.

I did have an issue with one of my USB ports on the Framework however. It was solved by removing the module and updating the bios firmware. Can't say I've ever had that happen with another laptop. I agree they're probably not ready for business use yet, where cost is the primary measurement.

It seems that the swappable modules would also make it easy for someone to install e.g. a keylogger, though.

You can lock the modules with a button and also screw them in from the inside.

Not saying it's perfect but it's a far cry from just swapping a module.

If they are close enough to do that without me noticing I already have a ton of problems to fix instead of worrying about my Framework's module security.

You could simply be in a coffee shop or library.
