Will Framework ever ship high-end laptops, or is the niche always going to be low-to-mid spec repairable?
The specification targets on them are always chronically low.

Re: Framework Laptop 16
#32I'm happy to answer questions around the new product.
I literally just want a touchpad with buttons. These new 'clickpads' are the bane of my existence. They are so much slower, and certain workflows are impossible. I must use an external mouse now with modern laptops. Why can no laptop manufacturer even make this an option ?
I’ve never missed having buttons on the macbook trackpad lol
How are they slower/impossible?

#33Kinda wish you guys didn't have an Nvidia product at all. It's only really useful for Windows users, but openly hostile and offensive to Linux desktop users.
no it's not. Nvidia works on linux too. Not all linux gamers want to use AMD.

#34Random question for framework owners - my 1st gen Framework 13 recently started screaming it's fans all day, every day, even when it's asleep. Where's the best places to go for troubleshooting, user guides, etc? I've played with all the bios and framework settings I can find, so I'm guessing it's hardware related, if that changes the resource recommendations.

What OS are you on? Also try opening it up, there just be some dust stuck in there or something

Do you have a way to test the temps? It could just need a simple repaste.
Repaste is a likely solution, since that generation was before we switched to Honeywell phase change thermal interface material. Traditional thermal paste will slowly pump out over time. We do have Honeywell material in our Marketplace. You can also reach out to our support team for help.

#39Very nice. Glad Framework finally updated the CPU/APU on this because I really want the Ryzen AI APU in a 16 inch form factor (I don't care about dedicated GPUs though).
Re: Framework Laptop 16
#40The idea of Framework laptops sounds great! But I’m wondering: has anyone done an economic analysis comparing buying a Framework laptop a few years ago and gradually upgrading it, versus buying a similar popular brand laptop and just upgrading by getting a new model? I’m not trolling, I’m genuinely considering Framework as my next laptop.
