  • I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

    In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

    And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

    Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.

    Their pre-orders are always full and keep growing. Sure looks like they are doing very well.

    I wonder if they are even considering offering an option with RISC architecture. I doubt RISC-V is coming any time soon, but SnapDragon Elite looks amazing even though it’s ARM. Would love to get RISC based laptop from a manufacturer like Framework that doesn’t lock it to specific OS unlike Apple or Microsoft.

    Awesome idea, but overpriced. Not as much as Apple, but still a lot compared to Dell or Lenovo. I might still order it if Snapdragon Elite isn’t readily available by the time I need to upgrade my laptop just to support a great idea and a smaller company.
