I don't know it inside out but I'm following the basic standard "it should be as easy to withdraw consent as give it" The overall point being that if you want to use a product/service, you'll look past minor violations of local regulations on account deletion or charger bundling.

Giving consent required you to receive an email to verify your account. Revoking consent requires you to send an email. It’s symmetric, like poetry.

You're admitting to not actually knowing the law, yet accusing someone of being in violation of it...

Sensible thought. I very much hope there is a glut of one-three year old ram and GPUs on the market in about one year when the AI market "cools" and the ear-marked components return to the market. The banks that lent the AI industry the money are already trying to sell their debt.

Unfortunately most of it will likely be HBM and datacenter GPUs and therefore useless for consumers.

Datacenter GPUs are still self contained and speak over pcie though, right? So its a form factor and cooling problem, not an insurmountable one.

The configuration with the AMD CPU is using the 8845HS which was released Dec-2023 whereas the configuration with the Intel CPU has the Ultra 9 285H which was released Jan-2025. Why such an old AMD CPU? The Intel has faster LPDDR5 RAM, 8400 MT/s vs 7400 MT/s.

One thing I have discovered about myself [fairly] recently, is that I want, at least, two buttons, preferably three, and a separate track pad. This entire giant surface for multiple mouse buttons and a track pad combined, sucks. Most times, I just use a wireless Logitech mouse with my laptops, but I am not always able to do that. And when I cannot, I am back to hating the monolithic, multi-function pad, button, thing.

A framework competitor! Most of all I love the keyboard. Full size arrow keys as well as home, end and page up/down nearby. I wish framework laptops could come with multiple possible keyboard layouts like the one on the picture.

> Full size arrow keys

They are full size in height, but not in width.

What’s also annoying is that the function key row isn’t full height.

The prices are still way too high. You're better off buying a Dell XPS on sale, I saw one for about 800$ the other day with 32 GB of ram. Dell has committed to actual Linux support. I don't feel like paying a Linux nerd tax when most Windows laptops are fine. Lenovo seems to have the best support here. Otherwise enjoy the adventure in driver land!

Not just 'way', These prices are downright absurd and anyone who buys one is either giving a donation or an idiot.

$2000 for the very cheapest first-gen Core ultra CPU is nuts. You can buy a used, faster XPS 15 OLED 4K for literally $1000 less.

Like, Dell sells refurbished the Precision 5560 with the 11850H, 4K OLED, same ram and storage amounts, and a bonus Nvidia dedicated GPU for $560.

Did I mention that the ram isn't soldered?

Do they actually have a business presence in the EU? If not, how would those rules apply to them? Edit: tbh, the new "user friendly" idea of automatically converting US prices to the local currency of the visitor in spite of the company not having any connection to the visitor's locale always makes me think of drop shippers, not of legitimate businesses. Especially if i'm in a non USD non EUR country, I am fully awar…

They are mandated to provide 2-year legal guarantee under EU consumer protection law when they target EU consumers -> i.e. operate an eshop that ships to EU and sells in local currencies. Regardless of where they are located.

> They are mandated

That's nice and ideal, but unenforceable in reality unless the company has a presence in the EU.
