redneckrockuhtreeBto Framework@hardware.watch•Anyone else's fw13 bezel not line up right?English1·2 years agoI suspect the bezel isn’t seated properly at the bottom. Mine was a little fiddly at first but now pops right into place.
redneckrockuhtreeBto Framework@hardware.watch•Some praise for Framework's repairabilityEnglish1·2 years agoNice!
Yeah, stories like this are exactly why we own two Framework laptops.
redneckrockuhtreeBto Framework@hardware.watch•Can all mainboards be swapped in all the different chassis? And if so, will it be like this forever?English1·2 years agoForever is a long time
That said, I can’t imagine Framework would make a change that breaks upgrade ability within a given form factor (I.e., 13”) without a very compelling reason. Doing so runs contrary to their stated objectives
So, if you buy a 13, I would expect you to be able to upgrade it for many yeara
Local location is who this is on. Both of my laptops, FedEx has required a physical signature.
So much of your experience with a delivery company depends on the local office and drivers.
redneckrockuhtreeOPBto Framework@hardware.watch•Looks like I'm ordering a second laptop!English1·2 years agoShe 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 SSDOver-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.
Eventually? Yes.
Soon? No.
Keep this in mine from the Framework ‘About’ page:
Repairability and upgradeability are central to who they are as a company. Changing the case design from FW13 to FW13.2 breaks that.
I’d imagine their case designs were created with some attempt to look forward and not design themselves into a corner. At the same time, things evolve and at some point a very compelling reason for a case design change may come along. But I cannot envision this company undertaking a redesign lightly.
