My scale puts both (aluminum) usb-A and usb-C at 7g (cheap kitchen scale).
Let me add some links about this old blog article from Framework as my notes. Below are media articles about this announcement, introducing Framework Laptop 13 Intel Core Ultra Series 1 on 29th May 2024.
The computer heats up like a pizza oven. Worst of all is the fan noise. Being able to use the machine comfortably should matter just as much as its performance. I guess I had it coming. I’d never run Intel with Linux before, and I’m deeply disappointed—both with the machine and with Framework’s support. Yes, they always get back to you, but they keep saying the behavior is “expected”… well, if that’s the case, they should put it in the product specs.
WARNING: If you don’t mind working with loud background noise—as if you were at the dentist—this is the machine for you. And it’ll stay nice and hot, too. ![]()
