I won’t be able to buy a framework for some years now, but I made my account anyway that’s how much I want this laptop.

welcome to the community either way!!
Hello, my name is Jerry Berg and I am the producer of Barnacules Nerdgasm on YouTube and Twitch. I worked at Microsoft for 15 years as a Senior Software Developer working on the Windows project helping to ship everything from Windows XP To Windows 8.1 and did some work on Windows 10 before the mass layoffs in 2015 got me. Now I’m just trying to find another path through love doing what I love which is playing with technology and ultimately my thirst for open source hardware starting with 3D printers has now lead me here to Famework for the closest thing to an open source laptop that exists presently that is practical. I look forward to learning new things about this technology moving forward and following the project to see how things improve over time. Framework takes user feedback very seriously and it’s really started to resonate with people and overtime more people will buy them bringing the cost down unlocking the next level of purchases. I truly think this could be the next big thing when it comes to mobile computing and finally start making some real difference in terms of ewaste management and reuse down the road.

It arrived a day earlier than FedEx had initially said it would. I cannot complain about the shipping speed 
But, I am glad I waited…that 6+ months waiting period when it was first released would have been maddening. Did that for the AI Pin (what a let down).

Hey, I’m David. I am not in the tech industry, but I like the “reuse, reduce, recycle” slogan and there are some other nice features about the framework laptop that really got me. I’m 32 years old and from germany.
2 days ago I received my fw16 with incredible shipping time. I was still on vacation as I ordered it and did not expect it to arrive one day before me. Only took less than 3 days from Taiwan to Germany… thats insane.
Anyways, I already had some issues with the keyboard backlight not going on and some minor visual imperfections on the top part with the logo. But that’s stuff I already contacted the support about. I guess they’ll find a way to addres this.
I wasn’t this excited to unpack any electronic for a long time. It was so much fun to assemble all the parts and check out the interior. I really hope to have a lot of fun for many years to come. And I’m curious what will come from framework in the future.
My last laptop I bought, was a Surface Pro 3, so this is about 10 years ago and I’m looking forward to the perfomance boost this will bring to editing pictures in lightroom especially.
In my sparetime I like hiking in the mountains and taking pictures of the beautiful nature. I manage all my documents and stuff digital, so thats another important usecase for the fw16.
So far I found a good suggestion for a case that I knew would fit and it does, thanks for that and yeah, we’ll see what help I might be to others.

Hi,
French Dev/Ops here
Annoyed by Windows 11 and with lots expectations around alternative CPU architectures after a few years on Apple Silicon, I’m quite interested in a modular laptop that is future-proof.

Thank you @Destroya 
I already contributed my first helpful advise on how to get the PSVR2 working with the Framework 16 properly since there are a few little confusing hurdles but now it works flawlessly 
I’m loving the community here and this is already the best laptop I’ve ever owned
