I’m conflicted, I’ve recently upgraded to the AMD mainboard in my Framework 13 (luckily right before ramageddon), but the new case, battery, screen, and input upgrades are super compelling. Having to get the new Intel mainboard with the LPCAMM2 memory and new frame to see the battery improvements is why I’m hesitating to pre-order. I don’t know, maybe I’ll wait for some benchmarks/reviews until I jump the gun. But I watched the livestream and I really applaud Framework for their company ethos and commitment to open hardware. I’m definitely picking up their keyboard/touchpad combo when that’s up for pre-order.
The new battery needing a new case and input module is unfortunate. Waiting to see the price; I’d love a bigger battery
I’ll never say no to a bigger battery, but I have been very impressed with the lifespan of the current one. Since I got mine about a year and a half ago, I set it to stop charging at 80% and I can’t recall a single time I’ve ever had a battery crisis.
I thought framework funded Nazis and everyone hated them
wait do they?
I think stories blown out of proportion.
what’s the story?
They sponsor Hyprland whose creator is anti-woke or something and so the Debian community were up in arms.
oh i remember it. the hyprland guy is openly fascist and framework doubled down on sponsoring him. that was upsetting.
