No Ryzen options? Also no 1600nits display for working outside. Battery and display brightness are the only reasons I'm sticking with Macbook Pro.Sad it's not a priority for any other manufacturer. Because that's all you need, quality display, battery and remote access.

> two generations apart Maybe that's the reason, not the touchscreen?
Wait, so they get _heavier_ each generation? I don’t buy it.
So you'd rather buy the far-fetched conclusion that it's the touch screens fault?
Weird.
A bigger battery is the more likely cause.

You’re imagining a “greatest aspiration” that doesn’t exist. macOS has an iCloud login button in the Settings app and that’s about it.
Sorry, but you're wrong. Music-dot-app is a great example. Check out all the ways it tries to upsell you even if you just want to play local files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anrB6fP1WeQ&t=65s - opens to a full-page Apple Music subscription service ad on first run. - search functionality defaults to “Apple Music” instead of “Local Library” (or “iTunes Store”) even when the user has no active subscription. - Appl…
you are arguing with people who do actually use Macs by providing some random videos on youtube. How does that make sense?

#594Is there an option for a keyboard with dedicated PgUp/PgDn/Home/End/Insert/Delete keys? I looked at a bunch of designs and didn't find any. If this is a developer-focused laptop, how can the keyboard be so developer-unfriendly? This is why I keep getting Lenovo laptops, they don't compromise on these keys.
There are enough keys there, just configure some to your liking. That’s a software problem.

Gotta be honest, I have. I'm still living in a world where AMD is superior, but that may not be the case today?
For laptops Lunar lake and Panther lake addressed many issues and brought x86 power consumption to Apple Silicon levels.
Is that true? Many other comments in this thread are saying Apple Silicon has something like 30% better efficiency/battery life.

#596I have to buy it. This company deserve a support.

There's a big reason they shouldn't do that though: Laptops have already standardized enough on LPCAMM2 for the modules to be widely available.
The form factor is only a tiny part of the RAM module price. DRAM already isn't compatible gen to gen so you might as well go with the most optimized form factor
I agree, competition and economies of scale are much larger factors. Custom RAM SKUs for a single manufacturer with no competition will obviously cost more than an industry standard part. And you'll be locked to buying RAM upgrades from framework themselves.
Re: Framework Laptop 13 Pro
#598I'll be excited to buy one of these (or the newer iteration) if component prices ever return to pre-2025 levels. AUD$800 for 32GB RAM is insanity (which is of course not within their control, but my purchasing impulses are - at least for now).

Yeah I mean I don't think they want to say because the numbers are going to be bad, and it's probably not within their power to fix it. They should probably give the Linux numbers after the Windows ones at least tbf, even if they are bad.
I am much more likely to fault them for omitting important information specifically to hide a weak point of the product rather than out of laziness.
It's not a weak point of their product; it's a weak point of Linux.
Re: Framework Laptop 13 Pro
#600It's so cool that every individual upgrade they did here can be hot-swapped back to the older designs. That's a huge extra lift that they didn't have to do. To be specific: There's a new lower chassis, and a new chassis top with haptic touchpad. On my older framework I could buy just the chassis top to get the new touchpad. Crazy that they could make that work. I also just really admire the CEO for doing these semi-s…
I was really hoping for 6 USB-C ports, dual NVMe, a flush bezel, a better webcam, and most of all, I was hoping for a cooling design upgrade that doesn't cause the computer to self-roast if placed on top of a sofa due to ventilation blockage. Bleh.
