I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

    I have the Ryzen 7 version. I’ve noticed the battery life is quite a bit better in Windows. I use Fedora as my daily OS, but Windows does seem to manage the battery/performance/power stuff better (which is a shame).

    Speakers are very loud on mine, however quality not amazing. Although I have never owned a laptop with amazing speakers. Even my HP Elitebook 840 G laptop that cost around £1400 that has B&O speakers are not great either, no worse than my Framework.
