Looking to get off Apples ecosystem after their last couple years of privacy debacles etc. I'm also facing a 350eur battery replacement as my mbp trends below 70% life and Apple requires me to replace about half of the laptop to get a new battery. This is the answer that I've been waiting for. My MBP is 15" and I prefer the bigger size / spec but this laptop is only 13" and would normally be a dealbreaker for me howe…

I went from a 15" MBP to 13" M1 MBP. Had concerns about the screen size, but it's not been an issue. The performance upgrade has been significant, even though I went from 16GB RAM to 8GB. Main gripe is the limitation of one external display, so I'm hoping the larger MBPs about to be announced fix that. Anyway, don't let the smaller display put you off.

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

That's at best neutral, but probably 'anti-marketing' as far as I'm concerned.

I've always appreciated LTT, while acknowledging that they do contribute to the tech-industry product innovation churn. They seem self-aware and truly knowledgeable about the tech.

I hope this company grows and never forgets its openness. I'd love to see them absorb an open source phone, like Pine Phone, and create a cohesive open platform and device ecosystem. Imagine if they grew big enough to buy out Remarkable. Note taking, ebooks, ... I'd love to have all my hardware and productivity tools from an open company and have them all be hackable, extensible, repairable, and interoperable. Maybe…

Centralize open hardware under an ex-Facebook team? No thanks. We can encourage more competition and innovation, in many niches.

Is is possible that they learned lessons about fairness and openness as a result of their experience at Facebook? Is the stain of being associated with Facebook so indelible that no redemption exists?

I am no fan of Facebook and encourage all current employees to quit. I do worry about a future where actions committed in ones past are considered so severe to be unforgivable. I would hate to be judged in such a manner.

> 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 IIRC he wasn't even a main investor and his investment was around 200k, which isn't that much.

Here we indicate who is under the impression he invested for anything other than promotion

I'm hoping by the next time I go laptop shopping that they've released a model with more USB C ports. This is phenomenal work though.

All the expansion bays (4) are already USBC and you don’t need a module for it.

Plugging a peripheral directly into the expansion bay would be awkward, you'd need to sort of reach under the chassis. $9 for the "pass-through" USB modules doesn't seem too outrageous, though.

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…

For what it’s worth, the current 3:2 13” option has about the same screen real estate as a 16:9 14.0” display, so it’s not as bad as the diagonal dimension suggests.

I kinda wish someone would produce a documentary on what the hell is going on over there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/ppreq9/packages_g...

From what I hear, FedEx nationwide is extremely understaffed and they can't hire enough workers. UPS is also understaffed, but is not having the same issues hiring because they are unionized and offer better pay and benefits.

Buying one as soon as preorders are available in Australia.

Also located in Aus, and I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on one. Would love to support this company as much as I can!

I'm in Aus, why wait, why not use a freight forwarder? They aren’t offering local warranty anyway
