whats a traditional machine? it sounds a lot better than the system76 i had prior to it
Macbooks have great speakers, wondering if that's what he meant
I'm happy to answer questions that folks have around this product.
I've tried direct with Cooler Master. The online store has 3 pages of cases, https://store.coolermaster.com/us/cases-2?pagenumber=3 none included Framework's. Next I checked CM's 'find a store' which dead ends at suggesting Micro Center or Game Stop, which neither I find carry them.
I don't have a 3d printer on-hand and don't think this warrants 100-200$ printer purchase. Should I go hunt around for some folks to help at a local college or hobby shop instead?
I certainly can see up-cycling my 11th gen mainboard into a homelab asset with proxmox this year though. Without a mainboard case for this 11th gen on-hand though, I'll also not consider a mainboard upgrade.
Any insight or guidance?

Can you please elaborate on why the new mobo is so much more power efficient? If anything is due to software (e.g. BIOS), will you be able to backport these changes to previous version? Also agree with reviewer's comments about privacy shutters being hard to see. My family members have complained about "laptop['s webcam] doesn't work" when the shutters were closed. This caused unnecessary bad experiences with using t…
As a counterpoint, I love that they're subtle. I don't want big things glaring out at me. (But when they're disabled, there is an orange section. If you don't know that it's possible, as your family probably doesn't, you won't think anything of it, but it's easy to see at a glance the status.)
Unfortunately, they just thought the laptop is buggy, since it was not obvious that this feature existed. This person is also a lead on a consumer hardware product at the big company, and is aware of general privacy shutter features etc. In this case, the issue was just that it was not obvious that there was a privacy shutter on the laptop.

Orange for "warning, you're safe" instead of "warning, you're on camera"? I've had mine for over 2 years and 2 mbs and never really noticed. I never use the webcam. I agree though, I would rather it be invisible unless I look specifically. Just the meaning when I DO look should be obvious, and orange for inactive is not obvious or natural to me except in maybe parachutes.

Hi. I have an m1 mac but always missed linux since I got it. Here are my questions if you can take a minute: How stable is the Linux laptop and what distros are officially supported? What would be the best possible battery life I can get out of that 13 inch Ryzen version that was recently released?

Possibly, but literally no other laptops sound anywhere near as good as Macbooks.[0] Apple has done some real magic in the laptop speaker space, and they've kept their secrets to themselves. Shame I always wear headphones. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkYB931iUjc
The Verge has to have some of the worst reviews on the entire internet. All they ever talk about is subjective stuff like how the product "Looks" and "Feels" and are seemingly incapable of doing any actual work to provide things like benchmarks, comparisons, charts, graphs, etc. Just more of the same low effort, low quality garbage reporting as usual from the Verge. Like how do you do an entire review and not have a…

Have you looked into Asahi Linux?

I get pretty great battery life on my 11th gen Intel Framework under Fedora, and it's apparently way better on the 13th gen. Also stoked for the Ryzen version later this year.
