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!
On Netflix 4k streaming for example, we’re getting over 20 hours of battery life
that’s pretty sick
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.
Honestly, that’s why the last laptop I bought (over a year ago, now) was a Framework that I put Linux on. I haven’t had to change anything out yet, but I like that it’ll be easier when I do.
Ooh big bad gov mafia is soo mad you aren’t being subscribed to death.
I’m not trying to screw the government or anything. I’m just trying to spend less money and throw fewer things in the landfill. The government part is just a nice perk.
Have you seen whats going on in 3DPrinting land? Absolute insanity that they are basically outlawing personal computing. Bets that these dumbfucks make owning shapes illegal next.
I’ll probably breakdown and finally get one
With System76 and Framework (and Star Labs) I’ll never buy / use another Apple product again.
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.
It is expensive to “get in” but once you’re in you don’t have to buy a new laptop, you can just replace chassis/mainboards as you go.
Did they say what is the battery life for AMD version? I see the 20h is for Intel.
I haven’t seen that yet
