    Have you considered second hand? I’m not talking second hand specifically for framework or other mentioned brands, but just in general.

    I feel it is not yet normalized to consider second hand for electronics, yet you can find quite some good deals. Not everything needs to be bought new, especially if you are price sensitive. One generation or 2 older hardware bought second hand can be better and cheaper than new.
