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 its heel into the ground without being having to deal with new internal components. And the chip shortage also might produce a sense of "whatever I buy needs to last", which is a perfect match for Framework's platform.

I can't wait to own one of these when they start offering AMD

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 released at which point Intel will have the edge performance wise (hybrid cores, DDR5, Xe graphics architecture etc.) Is it brand loyalty or another reason?

Thanks for the reply! For me, it's a preference, like tucked vs untucked. Intel has things outside of the realm of performance that turned me off, so my last few builds have been AMD and I'm generally satisfied.

To your credit, I am typing this from an Intel device that is not my own, and it is performant as you mentioned.

I really hope they add a keyboard with better arrow key/home/end/pgup/pgdn keys at some point. This is literally one of the most important factors for me in a laptop because I hate the way most laptops do them.

What laptops have that without having a number pad as well? I know my macbook doesn’t have a better hone/end/pgup/pgdn. I personally hate laptops with number pads because the keyboard is then off center, so I just accept this sacrifice on laptops.

I do really wish they had macbook-like arrow keys, which are very effective for touch typing since the half-size makes them easy to feel.
