Ive been very damn satisfied with my framework, and the new stuff they are coming out with is somehow even cooler!
Is it reasonably high quality? I'm thinking of getting one but have been scared that it's a big meme because I havent seen any longterm reviews. It seems like parts could fall off etc but I've never held one so I don't know.
Yes its a high quality product. I was also skeptical so i waited for 12th gen, as i had a friend that preordered one the minute they were anounced. Ive had mine for a bit less than a year, my friend closer to two, and neither of us have had any hardware issues.
Obviously theyre still a young company, so theres still some risk i guess. But its probably my favorite laptop ive had.
Its not all sunshine and rainbows obviously, there are a couple things that could be better. The speakers are meh, the screen is ok, but in my case these were not things i was worried about
How is the battery life ? Like, how long can you use it ?
Heard its better on windows, with the smaller battery i get around 7h from 90 to 0 on Gentoo with normal usage. Though ootb without any optimizations it was closer to 5h.
Gentoo...? You masochist :-)
Hahahaha. Tbh been loving gentoo. Its not really harder than arch; the main downside is compile times which can be avoided by updating at night
thanks
