I bought a 1st gen Framework, making the bet they will still be around and have sell upgrades for my laptop 5+years from now when I need an upgrade. So far they are delivering on their promises and the price remains acceptable (even if high than the competition).
it's not even higher in some cases.
Was looking for a new work laptop a year or so ago, and compared a thinkpad with framework. Same exact hardware inside, and the price difference was 50ct. With the thinnkpad having poorer upgradability, soldered on ram and (imo) worse build quality.
It was the perfect way to test out a framework, and now I own one for personal use as well
What do you mean with autonomy?
Probably not native. In Italian we also say "autonomia" to indicate battery life or distance you can still cover with the fuel in your tank.
Ah that makes sense, thanks
Yes this is what I mean. I though this was also use in english. Basically, how long you last with 1 charge.
Hopefully battery life will get much better with the next gen Intel CPUs (14th gen and later). Of course that means nothing for people who already have the current gen.
I mean, with Framework laptops, it does mean something since upgrading to a new cpu doesn't involve buying a whole new laptop.
They already fixed some HW issue related to that in the 2nd gen (intel 12th gen).
