Does is sleep properly on lid closing? Even more specifically, can you enable S3 sleep from the Bios? Some newer laptops have things locked down so sleep doesn't work right on Linux, meaning the laptop dies after a few hours of the lid being closed.
(Not GP) You pretty much have the option between s2Idle, s2deep, and hibernation. The s2Idle mode is really responsive, but it drains battery at a really high rate. s2deep isn't technically supported IIRC; I was able to turn it on and have seen the battery life under sleep improve, but it takes about 10 seconds to wake up to a point where I can log in. If I know I'm going to be away from my laptop for a long time, I'…
It's easier to turn it off at that point
Hopefully it will be fixed with time

10 minutes to exit a sleep mode that doesn't drain the battery sounds like a deal breaker It's easier to turn it off at that point Hopefully it will be fixed with time
And while s2deep does help a lot, it's still pretty far from perfect - certainly not the kind of sleep you'd get from a recent MacBook.
The only thing I haven't gotten sorted is Bluetooth. I got it working once but it didn't survive a reboot. Others have figured it out, so I'm hopeful that I will too.
Love seeing a reasonably priced replacement battery here in the marketplace. I may buy one now just to throw in the backpack. Swapping it out looks like it'd be a ~3 minute job.
32 keyboard options and no Dvorak? Thanks, I'll pass. /s (But seriously, frame.work guys, add Dvorak!!)

Simply out of curiosity, why do you have this sentiment? I've seen it given a lot as the reason why people don't want to buy one yet, but the performance differences are slim compared the current Tiger Lake option; perhaps 10-20% on certain quad core workloads, more if optimized for octa, but worse on single and dual. Additionally, by the time the Ryzen CPU comes along, likely the Alder Lake processor will be release…
AMD has better battery life given that they run cooler at a lower TDP than Intel chips. This is partly due to the processor architecture. So this is one tangible reason to prefer AMD especially in a laptop as battery life is very important.
You know what I would love to see? The mechanical keyboard community get a hold of this. Actually, what would be kinda cool and a bit more "practical" (in a since, at least) would be an option without any keyboard at all (plain aluminum or like plexiglass or acrylic or something) so I can use my own keyboard. I know from experience my Planck or Atreus fit on top of a normal laptop keyboard footprint, but I always fee…
I think it will likely take significant modification to fit a mech keeb in the laptop as is. [I asked about the stock keyboard dimensions and was told the module is 3.8mm thick]( https://community.frame.work/t/the-keyboard/155/5 ) which doesn't leave enough room for low profile mechanical keyboard switches that are all ~8mm thick without accounting for caps. That said, I'm right there with you hoping to see some cool…
So they want the laptop to have a blank cover where the keyboard normally is, so they have somewhere to put their mech keyboard while they use the laptop.
I can't wait to own one of these when they start offering AMD

I don't want to support the market segmentation that intel does with ECC and raid. Especially given the single core pref hit you take moving from the mainline i7-i9 cpus to the equivalent xeon ones thats on top of the 2x to 3x mark up for no reason.
In short there is an ethical issue with buying intel some people want to avoid.
I can't remember the last time I so badly wanted a company to succeed AND also believed it was possible for them to thrive. I think the landscape is right: awareness of reparability is probably at the highest its ever been, along with access to information and tools. The chip shortage and general lack of breakthrough gains in processing aside from Zen has stalled the upgrade cycles a bit, giving Framework time to dig…
I believe they recently got more funding to expand operations because Linus from LTT said he was personally investing in them. That makes me feel a little bit better about waiting for a 14" form factor and/or an AMD chip
