I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.

Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.

If I had Mark Cuban money, it's the first thing I would do.

The heatsink comes away just as smoothly if you’re looking to reapply thermal paste down the road.

Not that you ever should, since it has PTM7958 which should never need to be replaced, and gets better with age.

So... this is a 2-in-1 that is actually repairable? Am I reading this right?

I got a Framework 16 a few months ago and I've been loving it. Super happy these guys managed to make this concept of a repairable laptop work. Though, one thing I wish is for them to make a storage case for the expansion cards. I've built up a little collection of them and obviously filled up all 6 slots pretty quickly. I'd like a better place to put the unused cards than in a random drawer.

I have a Framework 14 for my school laptop and it really is a great little piece of hardware. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.

When AMD???

Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.

It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking "did I do something wrong" I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It's better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that's it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don't get it.

For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.

The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.

At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.

Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.

Also, it was really expensive.

So yeah, I sadly wouldn't buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I've had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.

I got a fw16 love it.

Is the 12 on the same board as the 13 or is it its own main board?

I have been wanting one since these were released. My old Asus laptop from 2016 is still kicking, so I guess I'll wait till it craps the bed.

I had to double-take because I thought this was their 12th model. But no, they just suck at product versioning, like every other tech company.
