Very impressed by what you've come up with - it will be brilliant not to be worrying about failed paste!
I see the liquid metal pad is now in the store. How easy will replacement be if that's needed?

Under normal circumstances will this ever need replacing? Expecting this to be much better than paste, compared to 2-3 years for paste before conductivity drops, liquid metal should last 5+ years minimum?
How much more in percentage does it cost compared to paste? I know there are different kind of paste but just a rough estimate.
Is this the first in Laptops? It took years before Thermal Pad took off ( all because of enthusiast paying and companies discovered an market for it ). But AFAIK with liquid metal, companies were always talking about potential leakage.
I thought it was at least a selling point that is worth market the hell out of it.
My coworker who bought the Framework 13 about 6 months ago just left, otherwise I'd ask him how he imported it. It seemed pretty straight forward at the time.

Have you done any tests to compare to the famously quiet MacBooks under similar workloads? To what extent is it possible to match that?
