Don't forget literally all the battery values are specified as Windows 11.

Pre-ordered a Ultra X7 358H with 32GB as an upgrade from an M2 Air. I hope that I do not regret this.

Has anyone made the jump from a Mac to Framework as a daily driver? This is the first model to get my attention as a possible candidate for a full switch to Linux.

This is great - a Macbook Pro for Linux users, made of CNC milled aluminum, haptic trackpad, and 20+ hours of 4k video playback under Linux

I'm really looking forward to having this as the go-to laptop to recommend to devs again. The original Framework chassis was really showing it's age next to e.g. a MacBook Pro or the new XPS 14.

Having mainline Linux on a system with 24h+ battery life in a 13" case is pretty damn impressive.

I really wish this had a 4K display option. As someone who dislikes fractional scaling.

I'm clinging on to my older Thinkpad X1 because the 4K display is so good.
