    When I was looking at getting a nice laptop instead of my current high end desktop and cheap old laptop setup, I really considered a Framework. But honestly, Thinkpads are cheaper and just as repairable. Yeah, they don’t have the slide out port things, but they just have a lot of ports built in.

    Michael needs an editor - lots of instances of the wrong word used, but it’s obvious what he meant so not the end of the world. Just kept jarring me out of focus on the review every time I hit one.

      Wonderful day! Perhaps examples of the mistakes will help, and have you tried contacting the author directly, on the website itself, too? An editor, a colleague in a any team to stand together is always marvel, of course…

    I don’t recall them really leaning into Linux so hard in their previous marketing but it’s all over now!

    This is the first Framework laptop that I considered buying.

    I’m probably one or two gen to get one. Once they introduce TB5/USB4v2 I’ll get one.

    For now, I’m happy with my Thinkbook 14+ that has a Oculink port. Running a 9070XT eGPU like a champ in my Linux installation.

        There’s a special place in hell for the person that started the trend of only having mouse button integrated into the touchpad.

          i migh be the odd one here, i don’t like touchpad buttons, and also don’t like having special areas on the touchpad. hell i don’t even like that it has the buttonish feedback.

          i use one tap for left, two fingers for right, never press it.

    I dont want to support a company who has given money to fascists and alt right groups like Framework has done. Yall should check out Eurocom for a good modular laptop, I’ve purchased two in my lifetime and both were great.
