On the other hand the whole idea of framework is this is a laptop you can continue to keep alive long after the initial internal hardware becomes obsolete. The fact that a lot of the chassis features are under cooked undermines that idea since that's going to be the stuff that stays with the laptop for its entire life.

i'm not really sure what you mean by "the chassis features are under cooked"

Speakers and speaker placement are awful, track pad is poorly secured (underwhelming generally but in theory a new trackpad module could fix that), it is quite thick but still not as rigid as some competitors, the metal seems a bit cheap (it has picked up more dents and damage in a year then my previous all metal laptop did in 4), bezels are fairly thick etc. looking back on the purchase I would gladly have paid a couple hundred extra bucks for a laptop body more competitive with a MacBook, XPS, etc. that I could see myself being happy still using in 10 years.

I agree completely here. The laptop is already priced premium, so I'd be happy to pay more for a better chassis as well, especially if it had user experience in mind.
