It's been one week since I got the #framework 13 laptop (Ryzen 7). Went with Fedora Silverblue and it's been working flawlessly so far.
GOOD:
- Overall build and weight. I read reports that the lid was flimsy, but I don't see it. Maybe it's been improved.
- Keyboard could be best laptop keyboard I've experienced. Decent key travel with a nice thock to it.
- Thrilled to have a fingerprint reader again since moving away from Macbook.
NOT-SO-GOOD:
- Battery life is noticeably worse than Apple Silicon laptops, but I'd say it's on par with the HP Omen I use for work.
- Don't think it's a problem specifically with the Framework, but even if I disable the trackpad while typing, it still catches my hand every now and then. I decided to disable tap to click altogether.
Ok!
After a week with the Framework 16 I'm well pleased.
All of the hardware works fine with stock Fedora 42.
With 96GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and sweet AMD processors (both C and G), it handles my various hungry editors (Blender, FreeCAD, KdenLive, etc) without breaking a sweat.
Battery life is about what I expected for a large lappie.
The structure feels solid with a balance of metal and plastic for strength and weight.
I can't speak to longevity but first impressions are positive.
#framework
@frameworkcomputer Found it: It's on the configuration page. When you open the details behind the processors, it shows that currently batch 1 has been shipped and batches 2-6 are planned for July.
I'm going in the opposite direction, aiming for a #Framework laptop for my next.
Have a #Fairphone 4, since it was launched, and not until Fairphone 6 launched recently I've felt the urge to upgrade.
Probably will get the F6, and then the F4 is going to become a dev tool, to try out alternative OSs on a and more.

New blog post, on the joys of hackable tech and the new Framework 12: 'The Framework 12 is the Thinkpad X220 we deserve in 2025'
8 Jahre goldener #Apple Käfig. Einfach aus Komfort. Wird es Zeit auszubrechen. Hab das schon lang vor, diesmal aber endgültig. Was schwer wird:
- Frau will das iPhone behalten
- „Wo ist“ fehlt
- Gemeinsame Foto-App wird fehlen
- Zusammenspiel Apple Watch & Peloton
- MacBook gegen #Framework Laptop tauschen
War schön mit dir Apple. Aber es ist als ITler schon ein Trauerspiel, eingeschränkt in der App-Auswahl zu sein und auf Privacy zu scheißen. Ich freue mich auf @shiftphones
This afternoon I helped a friend decide on what Linux distro he wanted to try out on his new Framework 16.
After trying out three different live sessions, he decided on Linux Mint 22.1. I had it installed in less than 15 minutes with no issues.
