I am really excited about this laptop but I'm reading reviews like this a lot more now that they are delivering.

Their community forum has a lot of users asking for solutions for the problems you mentioned and even Linux compatibility issues.

I really hope they fix these issues too. A friend made a joke, which I find hilarious: "you can always replace all the parts that are failing, isn't that the point?".

I was an early user and I've run into a couple of problems on mine, but Framework does a good job getting information out there and fixing things. Much better experience than I've had with other vendors where once it ships that's it.

That's what I'm seeing too, and I want to trust them. Can't wait for them to ship to my country, will order one for sure.

It's not about trust. They can have all good intentions in the world, but still fail. Because as Elon says: "The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is not well understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes. The machine that makes the machine is vastly harder than the machine itself."

Yes, for example, compare a Fab with a laptop

(Fab = Semiconductor fabrication plant, in case anyone didn't know)

That’s because if they didn’t fix these issues, they’d not have the chance to ship another product.

Incentives are aligned! that's great!
