I don’t really need a gaming laptop so was considering the framework 13. If anyone has any experience with it please share! Bonus points for any details of using Linux on it and/or the AMD version.

No issues, work very well for me!

We’ve had a 13 as my wife’s primary PC for a year and a half and love it. Still just as quick and snappy as brand new, and it’s been more than powerful enough to handle what she needs it for (light productivity, web browsing, streaming).

Bonus question: do you wish you waited for the 16?

[-] curioushom@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

The 16 is very cool but I use my laptop on the go and the 16 is too big for that. I don't need it to be a desktop replacement but if I did, I would definitely get the 16!

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m thinking. The 16 has some cool bells and whistles but I prefer the size of the 13. Hope they bring the Linux keyboard to the 13, though.

I don't have a 13 but I ordered the 16 because I like having a numpad. Otherwise, 13 would be nice.

@TheButtonJustSpins @steal_your_face @framework Aren't you (or anyone else) worried about the clearance between the keyboard and the spacers that's clearly visible even in Framework's own product shots?

I mean, if it's an actual problem, it'll get solved eventually. That's the thing about this ecosystem, right? Everything can be replaced piecemeal.
