My Framework laptop is here! ✨ It's a modular, repairable laptop that I've been hearing really good things about!
This is the "DIY edition", so let's assemble all the pieces together!
Documentation for the Mainboard and other modules in the Framework Laptop 13 - FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13
Let's install the RAM! I got 2 x 16 GB from a different vendor. My last laptop that had swappable RAM was my first Thinkpad 14 years ago.
I really hope that in another 10 years, we'll think of swappable laptop parts as totally normal again...
First impressions of the #Framework laptop (in comparison to my previous X1 Yoga Gen 5)! First, the bad things:
Under load, the fan is really loud.
The speakers sound a bit tinny/compressed.
At first, I was extremely distressed because the Ctrl + Fn keys are swapped, but thankfully, you can revert that in the BIOS.
I miss the trackpoint. :( Think I'll have to learn even more keyboard shortcuts.
When I tried attaching two external screens via a docking station, the Framework crashed :O
Things I like:
The 3D performance of the integrated AMD GPU is a huge step up from the X1!
The aluminum body and the keyboard feel really nice.
The BIOS boots super fast!
I like the 3:2 screen ratio.
Super happy with my Framework laptop by the way!
The module system is great. I printed a snack drawer today! Now I can always take three peanuts with me!
