I got my Frame.work DIY laptop today with:
Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7
32GB (1 x 32GB) DDR4-3200
Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 No vPro®
2TB - WD_BLACK™ SN750 NVMe™
Plus these expansion cards
1 HDMI
2 USB-C
1 USB-A
Assembled it in half an hour. Installed Manjaro Gnome 21.1.1 and everything works, including the fingerprint reader.
I'm using it now, and it's already my favorite laptop. #righttorepair
@leo there’s very few non-Mac laptops that have caught my eye in the past decade. And none of them have been as interesting as the Framework.
@leo When do we get a review?
@leo What happens if they go under and you can no longer find their parts?
@dualhammers Most of the parts are off the shelf.
@leo Oh that's good. I was under the impression from the packaging that they had proprietary replaceable parts.
@leo Please post updates on how it handles day to day work.
@leo I want one so badly but I cant justify the purchase rn
@leo I’m curious about the keyboard
@Chief TWiT Woo that's so awesome, would love to get one as my next laptop someday.
@leo That sounds awesome mate. May I ask what you paid for it ?
@leo it is awesome! I love the idea of expansion cards. Sadly I need something with stronger GPU 😩
@leo Seems great !!
Have you plug a usb-c dock (with power/keyboard/mouse/double display) on it ?
i think it will be the last thing that would stop me to order this laptop
@leo nice! How do you consider the build quality?
@thomas Build quality is very nice - comparable to a Dell XPS with a better keyboard.
@leo Nice!! What did you pay for it?
@Ogedei I paid around $2000 but it depends on configuration. Check frame.work for the price.
@leo looks like great fun! Will it come up on twit?
@leo Sweet rig !
@leo Going to come on the Untitled Linux Show to tell us all about it one of these days?
@leo does it have a headphone jack?
@leo I need a new laptop!!
