    I love my framework. Ubuntu and Fedora work out of the box. I didn’t like the glossy screen but they even fixed that. The only problem is that I cannot justify to replace a 1 year old screen just because it’s glossy.

      How is the battery life?

      I don’t think I’m in the market for a new laptop for a while, but when I next am, I think my main requirements are going to be Linux compatibility (no or near zero issues) and battery life.

        It’s okay. I get about 2-3h of discord, 3-4h of programming and 5h of browsing the web. Since they fixed the issue with the display extension cards it even holds charge in sleep mode pretty well. Unfortunately, nothing compared to the M1 MacBook I have to use for work but still decent.

        I have Ubuntu running on a 9 year old Dell. What’s the issue with compatibility? Is that even an issue anymore?

          The benefits of Linux is that older hardware may have strong driver support.

          I have a Razer Blade. It used to have issues waking from suspend. When I’ve tried to use integrated graphics instead of Nvidia to try to squeeze more battery life, that issue returned and the old fix doesn’t seem to work.I also have had problems where it was getting frozen on the lock screen.

          I’d like it if my next laptop had better Linux support. Good drivers, good battery life.

    I’m more of a budget buyer so I may not be able to get one in my region, but I do like the possibility of the used parts market.

    My main issue with used laptops versus desktops was the peripherals, mainly the keyboard & trackpad.

    I have bought an 11th gen Intel Framework. When the Intel 12th gen was out, I purchased a motherboard and replaced the 11th gen one. The process was common and straightforward but the experience was almost magical. We should have been able to do thIs years ago. The 11th gen motherboard is now runnIng my media center faithfully in a DIY acrylic case. Kudos Framework. You ought to be the future.

    I’ve been wanting a framework since start, it made me hold out with buying a new laptop a year longer than planned. More than a year after I gave up waiting, delivery to Sweden still seems to be in an uncertain future

    If they come out with one that doesn’t use the goofy screen ratio then it’s an auto-buy for my next laptop. Even if they don’t it’s way up on my short list.

    I love my Framework laptop! I have the 1st revision and it definitely has some flaws, the most critical being the battery draining. Despite that I am planning on sticking to my original plan to ungraded only when it’s become necessary (probably 5 years from now or maybe more). I sure hope the company is still around and supporting the first design with new parts by then.

    I’ve waiting on the framework 16 to come out (and be reviewed), as it fits what I want perfectly. Repairability, functionality, etc. all sounds really good.
