Gaming like laptops are a no no for me, sorry. And I doubt there's anything just slightly larger than a macbook pro but with upgradeable components.
The Framework laptop has way too many compromises

They’re noticeably bigger and run warmer with less battery life than a Macbook Air.
Assuming Framework remains solvent and doesn't change the physical layout of their motherboards, I don't anticipate ever needing to buy another laptop.
I don't think we can blame Framework for that on their own, Microsoft must surely have a contribution to this.
But still, after getting used to apple's offerings I don't think I'd like a laptop where you need to check if it actually went to sleep instead of just closing the lid and moving along.

Bigger is fine to a point. Less battery life, same. But the heat and noise when you have alternatives that don't have the problem...
Ofc, it's easy to run prices through a converter so I wonder where they ship from and where the warranty is located...

In terms of shipping, they have multiple warehouses around the world.
That's the miracle with apple's OS. And I say OS because I'm sure it filters out accidental input in software. The trackpad is made by whoever makes them for the x86 laptops too, but I really can't remember when it registered a touch when I didn't want it.
(I'm sure it happens occasionally, but not enough to be worth keeping track of.)
