I'm considering it as a second laptop option, but I have a particular niche use case: I'm a developer who writes developer tools and is currently trying to ensure we have first-class RISC-V support.

This is probably what I'll go for if I buy in the next month though: https://liliputing.com/dc-roma-laptop-ii-packs-an-octa-core-risc-v-processor-16gb-of-ram-and-ubuntu-linux/

Hooking up a BananaPi to a keyboard+monitor is going to be quite a bit cheaper, and unlike with the framework laptop you can't re-use case, monitor, etc. with an upgraded board.

It would, but I already have several dev boards I use in that configuration. What I'm looking for now is something I can take with me to use as a semi-daily driver so I can start reporting bugs in real world use cases.
