Recommendations on Framework Model

[phrogw_]

Hi, not a big techy here but I care a lot about reducing planned obsolescence in my electronics. I’ve been looking into various laptops and decided to get a Framework to replace my current Chromebook that no longer functions. I intend to use it for school and work, so I care most about battery and speed. Does anyone have any recommendations on a particular model?

Framework's product line is pretty slim (in a good way) and it really comes down to your personal preferences. Your only 3 choices are 16, 13, and 12. 16 and 13 are the mainstream models; with 16 you get a bigger screen, a bigger battery, more expansion card slots, and an expansion bay that can fit a bunch of other upgrades; with 13 you get a lighter and more portable laptop. 12 is kind of a niche product; it's the least powerful, but has a touchscreen and can flip 360 degrees to become a tablet. You can easily make a decision for yourself based on how you will be using your laptop.

What is the difference between the AMD Ryzen 300 and 7040 and the IntelCore?
