    Nice review, but note that you do not have the new hinges. There was a bad batch on the Gen1, where the force of the hinges were out of spec and they fixed that. The 4kg hinges are still optional parts and need to be purchased separately. Somehow a lot of people got that wrong somehow... no idea where they picked it up though, since FW was pretty clear about this and corrected this many many times in their forums / reddit and elsewhere.

A module that he might need could break and there would be nowhere to buy a new module. Maybe a part on the laptop broke that framework no longer is around to replace. It is actually a serious concern. But yeah I am rooting for framework too.

    I really hope framework takes off to become a real competitor in the laptop space. They're really showing it's possible to make a thin, good looking laptop without having to sacrifice modularity/repairability. Hope it sets a new trend to make repairability the standard rather than a feature. (I am an apple user, but other than my issued work laptop, the mac's i own are all older models i salvaged and repaired)

    I totally agree, and believe there may be strides already present in the industry! Although not perfect, it's exciting to see right to repair slowly become an interest. Hopefully with time we can achieve, like you said, repairability being a standard rather than a feature. Dell's Luna concept laptop seems to be a decent example, but I don't want to say too much until they actually claim repair is a big focus.

    Yes, it is be perfect if this upgradeble tech is the future. I have a MacBookpro mid 2009. And cannot update it anymore. But the computer is still running ok. In these days I don’t have the money for an 2400,- euro upgrade…. But is not safe to use an old laptop… and some websites show problems with my old browser. I am worried about the compability with Linux and Adobe and for example GuitarPro which I use a lot. That would hold me back to invest in a Framework laptop. Also the Fairphone would be a perfect match.

    The good thing is, the trend IS starting to appear, as HP has already released a laptop imitating the soul of the framework laptop, being slim, good, and easy to repair. Also, Dell is launching a new open standard to save the modularity of laptops, making a new type of RAM memory that can work at ddr5 6200MT/s, and that can be engeneered to work with ddr6, thing that would have been impossible if we stuck with the sodimm design, at witch point, every laptop would have soldered memory.

They're solid, reliable, great performance whilst being thin and light somehow (personally, I like massive fan grills, but thats just because most laptops don't have the thermal performance that the macs do). The biggest con for me is the lack of upgradability, I have a 256gb m1 air, and I could easily see myself using it as my main machine if I had a tb or two of storage, but to do that, I'd need to buy a whole new laptop, at a massive pricetag.

    My issue with any other laptop than the MacBook M1 is the battery life. I simply couldn't find a laptop, that I can use for browsing, office, Teams, software development throughout 8 hours or so on battery. With the M1 I can and it mostly stays completely quiet. Still, my wife for example doesn't care about battery life that mich and prefers Windows, so perhaps she'll get a Framework laptop, because as much as I like the MacBook, I really dislike Apple and their anti-user practices.

The only real problem I've had was a fan bearing issue on one of them about 5 months later, but Framework replaced it for free, and as you know, the install took a couple minutes. I've since upgraded to the 4kg hinges, which I like a lot, and it's just been a dream machine for me. Perfect? No, of course not, but I like this machine far more than anything I've had in the last 20 years. FW has my full support.

    I love Framework's approach to the modularity since it makes the laptop a device that adapt to different scenarios. If you need your laptop to be a road warrior, opting for extra battery pack is ez solution. For more performance, egpu expansion is going to be supported and 1TB modules can make this laptop hoard a lot of files with a huge amount of easy extra space. And 3D printed cases allows us to give a 2nd life to the the hardware of the laptop as a media center etc. It's just plain awesome. Framework is the one of the few serious innovations the laptop space have ever had in over a decade.

    On my M1 MacBook Pro, the display panel failed 8 months after purchase. I brought it into the store and they were able to fix it under warranty, however this unfortunately meant I was left without a laptop for around a week. Furthermore, if I did want to replace the part myself with the Self Service Repair program, it would then not be covered under warranty and I'd be out about $600 just to have not gone without my machine for more a week. Additionally, the MacBook is so expensive to repair that I've been paying AppleCare+ out of fear of some kind of other parts failure. The framework is attractive to me as the aforementioned issues with the MacBook Pro wouldn't be a thing on a framework. (Relatively low repair cost, can repair the machine myself instead of waiting a week without a machine at all, etc) I'm looking to move onto a framework sometime within the next month.

While I'm happy with the better screen, more up to date OS and the usual stuff, I'm still getting used to the lower number of ports. What bothers me the most though is the keyboard. I don't know why everyone is raving about it. So many reviewers and youtubers claim it's the best keyboard ever - but I'm not fond of it at all. I feel like it's a step backwards compared to the keyboard on my 2012 Air. Thankfully I don't have to use it too much, as I normally use my wireless logitech keyboard (MX Keys for Mac) which is absolutely awesome. I recommend it to anyone.

One nice thing about the modular design, is that it also makes it easier to upcycle the older components.

    thank you very much! I definitely will do a one year review. Excited to see how my setup and such will change in the future. If there's one thing I wish I covered more, it would be sleep on Linux. I've always had some issues with it, but will share my solution once I get it completely addressed. :)

    I'm waiting for the Framework 16. So pumped. I bought a M1 Mac on launch and quickly sold it. Compatibility was an issue. I then bought a Dell XPS 15 running Arch and can't wait until the Framework 16 is released.

    build a frankenbook with a t480 quad core and a t25 keyboard/top end. there are guides. Idk these chicklet keyboards are garbage if you spend more than a few hours on your laptop every week. og ibm/thinkpad keyboards are where its at, and thinkpads cost a fraction of what apple/framework cost. can build a decent machine for 1/10th the price that is made to be repaired. I will let everyone else with thousands to spend figure out of framework is here to stay.

    Thank you! They're both amazing in their own ways! I'm not sure how well the System76 laptop works out of the box, but I bet it's basically perfect. As for the Framework, Linux has been a little spotty, but popOS has been my best experience so far. Just having some light issues with sleep and battery life. If you really know your ways around Linux and are comfortable with making those fixes yourself (I know I'm not!), I'd consider the hardware and if you need the modularity of the Framework. It's definitely nice, but I can understand how not everyone needs it. I don't know if the System76 laptop is upgradable, but that would be amazing if that's the case. :)

    My two main issues right now are that Framework doesn't offer better display panels and their speakers are pretty tinny. If they fix those issues and I'd be a great deal more likely to pick one up. I'd also love it if they could offer models that support different form factors, even if it's just one in a slightly larger form, though I do admit they have to focus on minimizing their manufacturing costs and so choosing to support a new form factor is probably not in the cards for 1-2 more generations, assuming they continue to grow financially.

Maybe in 5-10 years from now when KZread or it’s replacements global state gets on steroids, but a billion subs seems kind of wild….

    Cant remember what KZreadr said this but it’s something like “framework might not be the best laptop, but they are the best company making laptops” you can ACTIALLY take them apart without voiding a warranty, clean them easy, upgrade and change them. It’s a laptop. Not a desktop so it’s not going to be the best thing ever of course but DAMN is wholesome.
