I got (for my wife) an entire Framework Ryzen 7840U system, plus a 2TB SSD and 32GB RAM purchased separately, for THE UPGRADE COST on an M2-class MacBook between its base spec and 32GB RAM/2TB SSD. It's a farce. I don't want to leave the Apple/OSX ecosystem after 20 years, but I simply can't justify it any longer. I bought a €300 used ThinkPad. Fedora's pretty good these days, and I'm mostly in a terminal or Firefox. I'll live. Wife's been mostly running Windows on Macs since 2011 anyway.
