I've been running Fedora on my Framework Laptop for more than a year. Here's a tip regarding fractional scaling: Don't use it. Instead, download gnome-tweaks and set the font scaling to 1.6x or so. Looks overall way better, even though some UI elements might scale badly.

Are you on Wayland? Did you enable factor scaling via the gsetting?

Yes, I'm on Wayland. Yes, I tried factor scaling via gsettings, but it just causes some apps that don't fully support it yet to just blur. Which is why I use the workaround I described above.@@Minkiu

@@GeoStreber On X11, it doesn't cause these problems and everything works perfectly well. Remote desktop into the desktop though will be a chore.

This is very exciting. Thank you for your hands-on! I hope to get one of these very soon myself, the upgradeability is a game changer

I look forward to setting mine up & trying it out, thanks for the video!

Think the only thing I disagree with is "premium price". I got my ram and ssd myself. So for $1155 I got a AMD7660U, 32gb of ram, and a TB of storage. Compared to a M2 air I can't repair or upgrade with only 8gb ram and 250gb storage, I find it cheap.

Definitely agree with this - the Framework mostly tries to compete with Macbooks, as Nirav has mentioned himself and the design points to. The DIY version with parts off of Amazon is relatively inexpensive when compared to Macbooks, Surfaces, XPS, etc..

Cant wait to get one!! Great video thanks!

I get exited everytime you post because I hope there will be another good 10 inch laptop. I guess I will still end up buying a Framework down the line anyway. Lets hope there are more small form-factor laptops in the future. Cheers!

Honestly, I just got a surface go for this. It's not ideal but definitely the smallest good laptop out there right now (with the type cover) ...

Yeah, the landscape is pretty sparse right now. Off the top of my head, there's the new Chuwi MiniBook X, which is inexpensive, but not very powerful, and the One Netbook 5, which has a much better processor, but sells for $1,169.

mine arrives on Monday, i can't wait to get it and install Fedora!

@@glymps it's amazing. using it right now. ended up moving on from fedora and installed arch with kde. I love this laptop and would highly recommend.

thanks, great review

Ever since Framework launched, I've said the moment they put out an option for desktop-replacement performant components (AKA: 7945HX + 7900m) I'd throw down. I stand by that, even though I know it probably won't be till 2025/6 if it ever happens because my needs mean I am not the mainstream market.

Fully agree. But as it stands, for the vast majority of use cases, the framework 16 with an eGPU would probably be able to replace a desktop just fine already.

@@raute2687 Unfortunately, not for my use case, and I also don't want to use an egpu, I have enough crap to lug through airports already, I literally can't have 'just one more thing'.

What#s the battery life? Like real one

Could you please tell me how hot it gets on the bottom? I'm looking to buy a framework laptop and would like to use it on my lap, heard the intel version gets pretty hot. I'm curious if it's the same for the ryzen version?

I'm a bit late, but I run mine with Linux Mint and the auto-cpufreq open source package and it stays quite cool except under heavy load. On default settings it will run fairly hot and loud.

I may have missed it, but was this a review unit or was this a reviewer bought machine? I would prefer a more prominent disclaimer of this nature if this was a review unit in the future. Thanks.

AMD version is currently under pre-order, but it is essentially the same hardware all along. The only difference is the new GPU and bigger battery, that's it.

Thanks, I usually try to say this in the intro, but it slipped my mind. I'll add a note to the description to make it clear that this was a loan that I'll be returning to Framework soon.

voiceover is louder on the right side !

video Sir ! Please help me with a link to buy the 13.5 framework with the latest update in the market today Also advise which one is better intel or AMD ??

Have they said why the different USB 3/4? Instead of making all slots USB4?
