I feel you, man. I totally do.
If you look through my post history, you’d see how unsatisfactory my experience has been.
Since summer 2021, I’ve clocked in no more than 200 hours on the FW 11th gen laptop (crystaldiskmark powered on hours). If you count that, it’s like US$10+ per hour of use.
At this point, I consider that cost as near donation-level money to the Framework ‘foundation’…so I’m sticking around…and now we have 13th gen and Ryzen and FL16 on the way.
At least stick around to see if this is now fruitful all all, I would say.
Plus, I’m still ‘happy’ that they’re attempting to address the RTC battery issue with rework, and also now evolving into a coin battery annihilator. If that addresses the issue, I would at least have a NUC…so it’s not total lost.
