Föderation EN Do 25.01.2024 14:01:52 My Framework laptop is here! ✨ It's a modular, repairable laptop that I've been hearing really good things about! This is the "DIY edition", so let's assemble all the pieces together! (Medien: 1) |
Föderation EN Do 25.01.2024 14:04:38 I'm greeted by a small envelope in the lid of the box, which contains... stickers! \o/ And a QR code leading to the assembly guide. (Medien: 1) |

Föderation EN Do 25.01.2024 14:11:02 Not super happy about the choice of Torx screws, as I feel I won't always have one at hand. But at least the prodvide a screwdriver! :) (Medien: 1) |

Föderation EN Do 25.01.2024 14:17:20 I like how all components have links to documentation! Importantly, they publish the specifications of all the used connectors on GitHub: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13 (Medien: 1) |
Föderation EN Do 25.01.2024 15:41:31 Let's install the RAM! I got 2 x 16 GB from a different vendor. My last laptop that had swappable RAM was my first Thinkpad 14 years ago. I really hope that in another 10 years, we'll think of swappable laptop parts as totally normal again... (Medien: 1) |

Föderation EN Fr 26.01.2024 19:27:32 First impressions of the #Framework laptop (in comparison to my previous X1 Yoga Gen 5)! First, the bad things: Under load, the fan is really loud. The speakers sound a bit tinny/compressed. At first, I was extremely distressed because the Ctrl + Fn keys are swapped, but thankfully, you can revert that in the BIOS. I miss the trackpoint. :( Think I'll have to learn even more keyboard shortcuts. When I tried attaching two external screens via a docking station, the Framework crashed :O |
Föderation EN Fr 26.01.2024 19:32:27 Things I like: The 3D performance of the integrated AMD GPU is a huge step up from the X1! The aluminum body and the keyboard feel really nice. The BIOS boots super fast! I like the 3:2 screen ratio. |
Föderation EN Sa 16.03.2024 17:55:13 Super happy with my Framework laptop by the way! The module system is great. I printed a snack drawer today! Now I can always take three peanuts with me! (Medien: 1) |
