Hi,

I’m looking to switch from my M1 MBP 14inch to a Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U. I’m contemplating about switching because I really like the options of not having to worry about paying a fortune if I break something, and the idea of being able to upgrade the laptop later on is really cool.

I’m a second year student in college studying software engineering, so my usage of the Framework wouldn’t be that heavy, just web-browsing, coding & compiling.

How long would the battery last for my usage if anyone has a similar workflow with the Framework?

For anyone that has switched from a Macbook to Framework, is there anything you regret or miss?

The only things that are still holding me back from fully pulling the trigger is the battery life, quality of keyboard and laptop, and 60Hz display, but otherwise I really like the product.

Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply! I code primarily in C++ atm & really like my current workflow because I got used to it. I haven’t had any sort of issues developing on macOS, aside from one class requiring software only designed for windows, but I still have a decent amount of time to decide whether I want to keep my mac or not.
