Hi, prospective buyer here?

First of all, I absolutely love the look of the framework. Id be dead set on buying it if it wasnt for one thing: battery life.

I’m a university student who travels around a lot so for me battery life is the make or break factor for a laptop. Heretical as it is to say here I’m really weighing up between a framework 13 and a macbook air m2. The M2 lacks everything I love about the framework, but its battery life is undeniably amazing.

What real world battery life do you guys get on your frameworks? And what would be the best configuration battery life wise? I was considering getting the low tier AMD model and installing a 61wh battery in it myself.

Would i be able to last a good 8 hour day or will i need a powerbank?

    I just got my AMD Ryzen 7 version and it seems to be able to do an 8 hour day no problem.

    That said, this is my second experience with a Framework. I bought an Intel Core I5 model (13th gen) for my step brother to go to University with back in June. He loves it and has absolutely no complaints for what it’s worth.
