I've had my eye on it since the reviewers first got their hands on it. So far the reception has been overwhelmingly positive but finding opinions you can trust can be difficult. I tend to trust Cory, Leo and Linus.

and I wonder if anyone has an opinion of it.
Cory is good Toronto content, and among his many achievements, I think excessive honesty is one of them so yes, I'll trust his review. On the other hand, reading it is a bit more than a review of the Framework, as he lays into Lenovo's ThinkPads and mentions that he just had a hip replacement. Wait, what? I think of Cory as "young" (we shared some social groups many years back), what's he doing getting a hip replaced? Okay, I'm getting slightly off track (but then, so did he). I'm enthusiastic about the Framework, and am a likely purchaser ... but I have to admit I'm really, really hoping they come out with an AMD motherboard for the thing before I need my next laptop. That's the only thing I thought was missing: I'm not happy with Intel. Not their market dominance, not their poor price-to-performance ratio, and not their chip's security flaws.
