The Framework Laptop 12 goes up for pre-order on April 9th. Framework's first laptop with a convertible tablet-style design, touchscreen, and stylus support will be positioned as an entry-level laptop, but pricing hasn't been revealed yet. #FrameworkLaptop12 #FrameworkLaptop https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-12-pre-orders-open-next-week

Are Here #framework users which can recommend dockingstations which allow you to start a #framework16 laptop by pushing a button on the dockingstation? #frameworklaptop
Or can @frameworkcomputer directly recommend one?

I am planning on streaming the mainboard replacement for my #FrameworkLaptop, but to do so I'll need a computer at the table where I'm going to do the work - can't do it at the desktop, the desk is (rightly) organized around my wife's work stuff. So - welcome back, cursed computer! The #Ubuntu #Surface Pro 3 returns, in all its glory. This is still a pretty nice device, despite its wear and tear from nearly a decade of service. Solidly built, nice action on the keyboard, beautiful screen. #linux #microsoft #framework #streaming

Since I am in Rome for a couple of days, I decided to come to work at the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic this fine morning.

The library staff is not friendly at all, but the place is crazy.

I was asked what kind of laptop this is, and of course I proudly replied: “it’s a @frameworkcomputer, you should get one ”

Alright, so. Recently, about once a day, my #FrameworkLaptop 16 has been doing ... this.

This results in the loss of all USB.

Which includes the internal keyboard, any external keyboards, any bluetooth keyboards... basically, everything except the trackpad, which is HID-over-I2C, and the power button, which is wired to the cros EC. I wind up having to hard-power-cycle the machine.

I'm resisting the urge to throw this annoyingly bendy laptop out a window. Anybody got any ideas for how to debug this? @frameworkcomputer ?

New webcam module installed in my #FrameworkLaptop 16 and definitely looks like potato-y, even under the usual cruddy lighting.

Getting the bezel off probably took longer than it probably should have and I really, really, really dislike dealing with flat flex cables.

I swapped out my International English Linux keyboard for my #FrameworkLaptop 16 with the RGB US English version so that I could have something other than a white backlight. I swapped out the Super and Alt Gr keycaps from the former to the latter, because fsck the Windows logo.

Unfortunately, the keycap legends for the RGB keyboard are both horizontally and vertically centered while the non-RGB keycaps are left-aligned. The inconsistent alignment will probably annoy me over time

my brand new #FrameworkLaptop arrived and I already ran into a problem

hello from the risc-v framework laptop :3

#DeepComputing #FrameworkLaptop @frameworkcomputer #riscv #fedora

After a few days with the Framework Laptop 13 (1/2):

The hardware is quite good for a no-nonsense business machine. I opted for the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U prebuilt option, so I didn't have to do the reputedly simple assembly.

It's light. Uncannily so. Probably an artifact of the repairability, everything can't be packed in super densely. The shell is a classic timeless aluminium silver colour and quite stylish.

Keyboard is great. It has nice travel and feels responsive; I can easily touch-type on it. It's backlit.

Display is perfectly good. It's not wide-gamut, but covers 100% of sRGB. It's bright and even. Not a touch screen, but I wouldn't want it to be.

There's a webcam. It's acceptable. It can be disabled physically. Ditto the microphone.

The preinstalled Windows 11 Pro is ... Windows 11 Pro, and the only bundleware I could find is a Framework Marketplace application. No questionable crapware, unless you count the Microsoft Office 365 trial that Windows always comes with.

(cont)

199 USD for a RISC-V mainboard for a Framework Laptop 13 (or it can be run standalone with the Framework/Cooler Master case) isn't half bad.

Not mentioned in the blog post or an earlier blog post is the amount of RAM included: 8 GB.

My phone is a Fairphone 4 with @e_mydata (deggogled android from @murena).
My e-ink notebook is now a Ratta Supernote.
And after waiting a long time (and fighting my IT department), my laptop is finally a @frameworkcomputer.
All brands dedicated to the right to repair and upgrade.

And all of this connected through privacy-respecting cloud services.

Slowly and very happily moving towards more sustainable and ethical electronics.
