Batch 8 Guild

I have had mine for a day and it seems pretty good, the fan is quiet under light load, and highest CPU temp I’ve seen is 72°c while compressing files, the screen and keyboard are both really nice. It also has that strange “new device smell”.
Problems I’ve had:

  • the display bezel would grate annoyingly on the case when adjusting the screen; I solved this by re-installing it.
  • The fn keys would stick in Linux if multiple ones were pressed consecutively. (This seems to be a firmware bug, Framework have said they are working on a fix) I followed this thread and everything is now working fine.

Battery life seems to be about 5 to 6 hours (on Linux Mint) but I haven’t done anything to improve that yet. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, there are areas for improvement but it doesn’t seem to have shown any major annoyances or deal-breaking flaws yet.
