I'd be interested in actually being able to order a Framework laptop.
Still salty they don't have anything in Scandinavia (yes, I know. I'll wait).

I like it raw.

And wriggling, gollum?

[–] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, if the aluminum is thick enough not to bend like a Mac.

No, but I'd be interested in a better screen for the 13 inch.

Whats the issue with the screen? Its pretty good imho.

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

It's alright. It has giant bezels, is neither oled nor high refresh. It is color accurate though and has a good resolution. Just wish It'd actually look better.

Maybe. What I'd like more is a 16:10 display and one or two more built in ports. 4 ports with one being taken by a charger when not using a dock (read dongle) is too restrictive. I would also like to see the dual driver speakers backported from the 16" framework. I like my late-2013 MacBook Pro form factor alot.

Framework is even taller than 16:10 fyi, and it's great. Don't dismiss it before you try it.

I'm not dismissing it just critiquing. There is a reason I'm still rocking this late-2013 MacBook Pro. Apple MacBook Pro 2016 and onwards are a total showstopper for me for an evolving list of reasons.

I use my laptop for an almost equal share of movies/tv and general work/programming. So black bars being bigger are potentially annoying. The speaker downgrade is also not great, not that things are great on this machine either. Stupid rubber has disintegrated and the speakers are now worthless.

However the measly 3 ports on the framework when you using the powersupply is a reason I'm holding off. Given that I understand the architectural limitations, all I'm asking for from framework is two builtin usb-c ports running at 2.0 speeds with PD support. I think there would be room at the back between the rear-most module and the display. This means I can charge from either side and have 5 ports left over. 4 hi-speed ports and 1 usb 2.0. That plus bringing the new dual driver speakers from the new 16" would make me very happy.

Heck even Apple backpedaled on only 4 usb-c ports in 2020. It's too low a number of ports.

Do you mean 16:9? I thought frameworks whole thing with the display was that it's an extra tall 16:10
