Intel’s efficiency gains aren’t a silicon miracle—they’re a response to Qualcomm’s ARM threat. The XPS 13 proves Intel can still compete, but Dell’s headphone jack omission shows product-sense is lagging. The real story: competition is the best catalyst for innovation.
The Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a technical marvel—better battery, modular design, repairable. But its high price exposes a painful truth: sustainable hardware is a luxury. As long as ethical tech remains a niche, low-volume product, it will cost more than disposable alternatives. The question isn’t whether Framework can compete with Dell—it’s whether we’re willing to pay for the planet we say we want.
Framework built its reputation as the anti-Apple—modular, repairable, consumer-friendly. But when they raised prices on pre-orders, they betrayed the very customers who switched to stick it to Apple. This is a cautionary tale about the limits of mission-driven branding.
