RISC-V Motherboard For Framework Laptop Pricing Starts At $368 In Early Access

[Quackdoc]

Miserable little misers who want you to sell stuff at below break even are rarely a market worth pursuing. This is a developer board and that's never going to be a big seller no matter how well you price it. If you price it low enough you also end up with the problem of miserly users buying it and then complaining that its too buggy (duh?) and can't run regular x86 executables and is too slow.

the DC roma I is the exact same soc, the same gpu the same most things, in a different layout. The DC Roma I is 300usd. A barebones framework config is what, 1000usd? Pair that with this and now you are looking at 1200/1300 usd.

There is a devboard tax, and then there is just being dumb. You either take your 1000+ USD laptop and make it not usable for daily driving, or you spend 300 dollars and get a second, perfectly usable laptop that is going to do literally everything your 1200usd kit out can do minus some things like a "really high quality screen"

You don't get speed increases, you don't get a different set of bugs unless you are hitting hardware ones, you still can't run reguler x86 executables etc.
