I really hope they are successful, I would get one too if I didnt need a new laptop.

Still have my trusty Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen. Once this laptop dies or my system requiments change, I will get a Framework system.

If it's still around by then.

The problem is we all love this kind of user supported laptop, but we never buy it soon enough and in enough quantity for the independent company to stay viable. We all individually always have some reason why we don't buy as soon as they come out.

I hope I'm wrong, but this is what I've seen in the past with other laptops from independent companies.

It probably will. That's not their first try, it's like the 3rd iteration and they still support the original one.
