I am looking at Framework, but it still feels like a legacy tech. I have XPS 15 from 2019 and it feels slow and fans drive me crazy. I don't think Framework will be much different. I was looking at M1 for fanless experience and performance. I wish they at least considered ditching Intel and adding a good AMD option - then I will buy it.

You're not wrong, in the sense that an M1 Mac would have better performance and battery life than the laptop I have on order. But to me, the tradeoffs (not only in terms of privacy, but also user-repairability) are worth it. (And my new Intel-based Framework laptop will still be much faster than the laptop I've been using for the last several years.)
