Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.
But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn’t going to go under anytime soon.
I’m debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?
I got a framework 12th gen Intel. I love it. One flaw is their board design with batch 5 and 6 boards can drain the RTC battery dead so you need to jump start it with a dumb USB brick on one side and fast on the other. I just got a RMA board from them no cost and I think it was my fault (plugged something into USBC port that I should not have). The big downside is not everything works perfectly like something from Microsoft when using windows OS. There isn’t the army of developers for the hardware and stuff. Idk. I love mine. It is hard to justify buying another laptop when there are upgradable options.
