I got my 11th gen Framework a little over a year ago and love it. It's my daily driver. In that time my work has mostly been game dev on a legacy codebase, so I've exclusively been using Windows 10/11. I don't get many (any?) issues. I use an external GPU (Nvidia 2060OC) and that works great. I used to get freezes that I eventually traced to power saving in the Nvidia drivers, but that wasn't Framework specific.
I've replaced / upgraded the SSD multiple times. It's super quick and easy to do.
I got the "DIY" version, but it was mostly prebuilt. The LCD did develop a fault very quickly (within a week) a horizontal line across the display, but Framework shipped me a replacement screen pretty quickly, and swapping it was quick straightforward.
What I would say is that the screen does feel a bit flimsy vs other laptops.
Anyway, I'm a massive fan and am considering upgrading my mobo to a Ryzen one.
Oh, buy 4 USB C expansion cards plus extra ones. I got 2 USB C a USB A and an HDMI and to be honest, that was a mistake. Shipping (from Taiwan) makes it a costly to buy a couple more cards, so I wish I got 4 USB C plus the others.
