I was a bit skeptical about paying for search, but after trying out the free plan, I subbed and later upgraded to the family plan. No regrets.

Probably because he rides a bike

Indeed, different price point though, but shouldn’t be more expensive in the long run. I like what they’re doing and live my AMD 13

You’re welcome!

I’m pretty certain you won’t regret it!

The 16 inch model can have a GPU module installed indeed, which makes it slightly longer and heavier of course. Framework plans on releasing newer GPUs in the future, but can’t guarantee it, as it also depends on the GPU manufacturers.

Let’s hope they will be able to also provide GPU updates, which would truly make it fully upgradeable machine.

The Framework laptops can be easily upgraded and/or repaired by just about anybody who can watch a YouTube video. It is indeed possible to buy a base model and then upgrade it later.

Keep in mind however that you can’t just replace the CPU, but you have to replace the whole mainboard. Other components can be swapped at will, like RAM, SSD, Display, camera and microphone module, hinges, … Then of course there are the modules that you can easily swap without even opening the laptop, and can give you different ports, card readers, storage or custom modules (diy projects for example).

The build quality is quite solid on my FW13, the keyboard is decent and the trackpad is quite good. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one if the need arises…

Damn, Boeing is really on fire lately!

Understandable. Good luck hunting for drives!

I got one or 2 4 TB drives (Seagate IronWolf). If you’re interested in 5-6 year old NAS drives that got replaced with larger capacity ones, send me a message and I’ll send you the smart data. I wasn’t planning on selling them, but they’re not being used anymore so I might just as well.

One hour of 360 video is roughly 60GB. Process that video and export it and you get a lot of data as well. I would not call it being super heavy on video to have one hour of source material on your phone, which you could not do right now.

360 photos are roughly 150MB each.

Storage is cheap, but sold at a very high mark-up.

At least unsolicited duck pics aren’t very likely to get you on some list 😅

Since they announced their AMD based system, I was waiting until they would become available where I live. As soon as they did, I ordered one and it’s without a doubt one of the best laptops I ever had (the surface pro is also very high on that list), and on top of that it’s very customizable, repairable and upgradeable.

Framework uses 3:2 displays in their 13 inch model. Great little laptop and easy to repair and upgrade as well!

So, offer the car back to Tesla at 1 cent under purchase price, then sell to whoever you like if they refuse to buy it…

StartAllBack can do that for you, and a few more things as well: https://www.startallback.com/

That also means that there’s still a huge potential for growth, before competitors reel in their potential customers. If they let other manufacturers divide the market among themselves, it may be harder to gain market share later.

Rancid fish oil, you said?

It’s not that they can’t heat your home to 20°C in the winter on those occasions where it’s freezing outside, it’s just that the heat output decreases as it gets colder, while the heat loss of your house increase, and your size your unit(s) for a specific temperature.

Our air to air system still has a cop of just above 4 at -7°C and 3 at -15°C. It manages to heat our 1960 house just fine (decently insulated, but not to modern standards). Even on those rare occasions the temperature drops that low in Belgium, we should be fine.

In a more modern house, the system could’ve been cheaper thanks to the better insulation.

I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down for this exact answer. We did the same thing and they enjoyed it nonetheless.

If that happened in Europe, that’s illegal. The warranty period is suspended while your product is away for warranty repairs. Little side note, that only applies to the legal 2 year warranty protection, which is between the buyer and the seller (which is often not the manufacturer).
