I went way overboard speccing mine so thenAussie tax was a big hit. Including the RAM & SSDs I sourced separately, over $5K ðŸ˜
I find the FW13 is reasonable comparable to similar 13in laptops, but the FW16 is pricier than comparable 16in laptops. Windows ones that is. As I've specced it its a total bargain compared to a 16in Macbook.
That said, I was willing to eat the price difference for the modularity, the potential for future upgrades & to back Framework's mission.
Also yes, I'm also desperately waiting for the release of an oculink module.

Most excited for an x8x4PCIE slot(for oculink). Any actual feedback here, also, what's the aussie tax like?
