I got my Framework back in July. Starting about two weeks ago, my wife (who’s never had a computer, nor shown interest in one) started mentioning it…and how it might be nice to have one.

She’s getting the DIY edition - I’ll let her have a little fun doing the final assembly.

    Sounds like it would make good YouTube content. 😅

      She would not be happy if I put her on YouTube. In reality, she’s handy enough that she won’t have any difficulties with this, with a little bit of guidance.

      What model/config

      Intel 13th Gen i7-1360P
      2 x 16GB RAM
      2TB SSD

      Over-buying a bit for now, with the recognition that it’ll let it go longer before needing an upgrade.

      I contemplated AMD (Mine is same model i7 as I’m getting her), but decided to wait since the AMD versions are brand new. For me, I’d be willing to consider BIOS that feels like it’s still getting slightly tweaked; for her, it needs to be stable. Tried and true is the best path, here.

    I decided this pretty quickly got in AMD batch 2 with the 13 for my wife and the batch 1 for the 16 for myself.

    I have a real worry my wife will steal my laptop when it arrives. She’s done it before. Several times.
