Still about 500 euro more expensive than similar Slimbook but at least not 2x as expensive as it used to be. At this point paying more for upgradable laptop makes sense. I will definitely consider it when I need a new one.
Did they say what is the battery life for AMD version? I see the 20h is for Intel.
800 pounds for 64gb ddr5, what a time to be alive. Could get something a bit cheaper but it’s still crazy prices.
Almost makes me regret having bought a maxed out version about a year ago. Just kidding, I’ll probably upgrade the trackpad, but apart from that it’s the best laptop I ever owned. Sad that you have to swap the whole input cover but it makes the swap easier, it’s just 5 screws.
I will buy that machine though when ARM takes off. Until that, battery improvements from introducing even lower power cores and bigger batteries does just seem like a quick fix to keep x86 alive.
On Netflix 4k streaming for example, we’re getting over 20 hours of battery life
that’s pretty sick
This looks great!
I’ve been using Linux on desktop for about 8 months now and I’m enjoying it a lot. I could see myself buying a Linux laptop with this battery life.
It’s super cool that you can just buy the parts and upgrade your old laptop with this!
If I understand the specs correctly, this should be almost fully compatible with existing 13 hardware.
Tempted to just get the black chassis once they release it, and put my current FW13 mainboard in it
This page has info on parts and upgrades
Painfully expensive, like all computer hardware these days.
Either skip upgrading, buy used, wait for prices to drop, or start saving.
I have a used machine, until I can afford to get something new. Maybe in a little while I’ll get a framework. (I think that if the 16” gets a pro model I’d definitely get one.)
Yeah I don’t really do new technology any more. I’m more into keeping the old machines running as long as possible.
I’ll probably breakdown and finally get one
I would love one but I’m a track point person and that pretty much leaves me with one option.
Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).
Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.
