Batch 6 machine (~Jan 2022) and still keeping mine. As others have pointed out, it’s not a perfect machine. A few major reasons I’m keeping: 1) it’s still a bang-for-buck device compared to similarly spec’d laptops in my 3rd world country despite freight forwarding, 2) I love the 3:2 screen for my work and these are essentially non-existent in my country, 3) I view Framework as a platform on which future improvements are made upon. I view the repairability as awesome, but something I wish I’d never have to use. The modularity is where it’s at.
I, too, have several pain points with the Framework laptop, but I guess these are part of the risks of being early adopters and buying into a Gen 1 product.
Been a laptop-first user for almost 20 years now. Touchpads fill the need for me, not needing a mouse – unless they suck. I hate that Framework makes me reach for a mouse, and I can be on my nearly-10-year-old $150 Dell Latitude and feel more at-home there, than the daily I spent $1k+ on.
I use sleep exclusively - except now with the Framework I’m manually putting it to hibernate every night, knowing it’ll burn 5% battery unnecessarily before going to hibernate anyway otherwise. Done with the computer, I close the lid. Use the computer, open it up. I hate the excessive SSD write wear that constant hibernate does.
