    i’ve had a framework 13 from a time before there was any other type of framework, and it’s a great laptop honestly. ive yet to do big upgrades, but just being able to repair it myself is awesome. one time i dented the chassis around where the power button was. no worries, just changed the input cover and bam 5 minutes later it’s like new.

    my only complaint is that the battery life is atrocious. i heard it’s better (but still not great) on newer models tho

      I have a 7840U with a 55HWr battery. I can squeeze out 7 hours. If I’m power using then 5-6 is typical. With the 63WHr battery, you’ll get about 15% more time with it.

      I have a newer gen 13 and yeah battery life is mediocre. I love literally everything else about it though so it’s ok.

      I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t near an outlet though tbh.
