did this once rn and just noticed how pricey it can get outside the us, heres hoping it gets better by the time i need a new computer.
i think the last thing the framework needs to be a true killer is 3rd party adoption of their standards, like aibs and such. is this too much of a pipe dream?
It’s pricey inside the US also.
My laptop actually just died yesterday. But if I wanted one of these I’d be paying out the ass and going without a laptop for several months.
I don’t believe in pre-ordering, so I bought a framework from the ships immediately pile. I was in your situation, my last laptop had died and i needed a new one. I just speced out “good enough”, and ordered. I’m still quite happy with my framework 13.
Gonna see if I can’t get mine fixed first. If not I’ll have to bite the >$1k bullet.
Haha you’ve got me there, I’ve done it maybe 3 times now. I keep saying it’s definitely going to be my next laptop, but I can’t justify it quite yet.
going to now
I’ll check once a year to see if they finally added a decent OLED display option with 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Since that has never come true, I never bothered going any further.
Are there any good OLED laptops on the market? I just checked the Framework forums and it looks like people are hacking OLED displays into their existing laptops but yea, that’s definitely not for me
Lots of them actually. It’s not that niche anymore. In my experience, ASUS generally has the nicest ones… & they offer OLED on even midrange laptops (good marketing idea IMO since it’s gonna look nice in a show room & it’s just looks nice so it feels nicer). The BIOS upgrades with them has always been safe & easy, but their Linux support is just mid (they don’t go out of their way to help support or anything).
Too many times to admit. I even had a order in but cancelled. I just can’t excuse myself that kind of money.
And I’m a freelance IT dude!
