I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.
What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?
E.g.
- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).
Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.
Thanks for any ideas.
The common ones I’ve seen are weak speakers, display hinges (much more infrequent), the case being made of a softer aluminum, display brightness (not quite sure why this pops up, but it does), trackpad quality, and battery life under Linux.
I managed to get a significant dent in the bottom of the case on my first day carrying it to work. I’d never dented a laptop before. I have a hard case for it now.
I would like to buy a hard case too. Where did you get it from?
Can you explain? You like the brightness?
I literally used the display in direct sunlight on a bright day, how the hell did screen brightness come up.
Everything else i either agree or can confirm
Also the up and down arrow keys being miniature, and the page up/down and home/end requires both the arrows and the fn key from the opposite side of the keyboard.
