I take it battery life is better on Intel.
What about performance for different tasks, such as coding, compiling, etc. What about local LLMs? Do both platforms have "unified memory" à la Apple Silicon? Neither?
Does anyone know how the Intel and AMD offerings compare? I take it battery life is better on Intel. What about performance for different tasks, such as coding, compiling, etc. What about local LLMs? Do both platforms have "unified memory" à la Apple Silicon? Neither?
Honestly I expect significantly cheaper laptops from other oems.
We'll see what happens when it ships. Honestly I expect significantly cheaper laptops from other oems.

Sure, but if you factor in the possibility of never having to do a full system upgrade again, and instead just upgrading individual parts (including the chassis) as needed, the long term cost of ownership would be way lower if you commit to framework

If you watch the sales on other laptops you can easily get similar specs for half of what framework is charging. I have a 5070TI laptop I purchased for around 1200$ after a rebate.
Not only does the Framework 16 only offer the significantly weaker 5070 addon, it ends up totalling to about 2500$.
Maybe in 5 or 6 years Framework will sort out its QC and offer better GPUs, but it's not for me today.
