Less than two days away (for pre-orders)…
Not if they have sufficient error bits that ECC cannot correct the error.
Any error that is not corrected after an ECC re-write (where the ECC can correct the error) is a hard error, i.e. a RAM bit has failed permanently. When that happens it is time to replace the DIMM - especially in a bit-barn environment - as the likelihood of the same RAM chip developing another bit error on the same address is raised, and now a 2-bit error becomes uncorrectable which causes major problems.
Let’s keep this on topic please. If you want to discuss ECC, you can do that here: ECC support?
Only 7 hours to go!
I do wonder though, why they couldn’t just reveal specs and pricing ahead of time? The waiting is getting painful.
Confirmed pen pressure and tilt support let’s go boys! This is fantastic. As always, a bit pricey, but with this one I’d argue it’s one of their better pricings.
Absolutely excited to see this thing in the hands of real people. Of course, I don’t pre-order anything, but once again I’m more than tempted especially with the olive sage colourway
Any chance you can make a fanless version? Bigger heat sink, no fan? I don’t care if there’s a performance hit.
Another option If you don’t want the fan to spin up is to cap the CPU in software.
Is this stylus included in pre-orders? I do not see anything on the page listing or pre-order to state that there is a stylus at all. I do however notice there are stylus specs indicating an included USI 2.0 pen.
No, currently the pen is not ready for shipping and is not something you can pre-order. It will be an additional purchase after the fact, it seems.
Perfect, thanks! As both USI 2.0 and MPP 2.0 are supported, finding one shouldn’t be too difficult. I wasn’t expecting one when I placed my order, but finding this thread had me confused on if I missed something
It’s a 2-1 tablet/laptop — not really a Chromebook substitute.
The pricing is more reasonable when viewed that way.
Will the Framework 12 mainboard be useable outside the laptop? Can it be used like a Desktop PC, like the framework 13 can?
We don’t have any confirmation of an enclosure currently but it can easily be assumed you can. It would take effort to ensure you couldn’t that is. I assume there’ll be some 3d printable enclosure quite quickly after launch.
Good question though but to answer in a few words, it’s not completely confirmed but very likely.
How pricey a Chromebook is?
Hey framework, keep it up, I do feel the pressure for you (POTUS not helping :)) but you have something here, hang in there! Framework 12 will grow!
