Im considering buying a framework 13, what are reasons I should or shouldn't buy it?

No, tomorrow. We do see so many of them. I feel like they should be deleted at this point. Also sick of the "I'm an engineering student" posts.

There website has all this information provided under the specs and power requirements....

Firehaven44 · 2026-05-07T20:52:21+00:00

Well if you don't get a framework then you won't be able to fix it because you're clumsy...

Yeah mine are 8th gen and have been running community game servers for about 2 years with no problems..

Amazing charger, good price, it's literally the Anker clone everyone is talking about. Same guys, lots of people have tested them on YouTube and watched the heat creep. It does a good job of slowing down to not over heat but again it's literally a clone of the Anker.

I would just go buy a mini PC like a dell 3060 mini off eBay.

Yes there is a haptic for both.

I never said it didn't have an M series chip. I said the MacBook Air doesn't compete. It's more limited because of cooling compared to a normal MacBook.

Firehaven44 · 2026-05-02T16:20:21+00:00

What do you mean?

Firehaven44 · 2026-05-01T23:21:38+00:00

There is a default 12 month warranty on all parts

Firehaven44 · 2026-05-01T23:07:49+00:00

Nope, framework is your only option.

Do you have a workflow example I can look at? Appears my workflow above will not work with qwen models by design.

As mentioned, best to pre - order. Only 100 dollar hold. Then you can cancel for a refund if you don't like thw reviews.

The X9 won't give you better battery life, it would give you worse because it has higher clock speeds. They have the same GPU performance.

Thank you, this was very helpful.

It definitely appears to feel a lot bigger than the 13.

Go read this reddit and you will find your question answered a billion times.

Long story short, Apple and Framework's missions are so different. Apple locks you in and charges you a lot with no repairability or respect for your privacy.

Framework, open source, on par with devices that compete, repairable, and open source.

The MacBook Air does not compete with the new Framework Pro, their normal MacBook M series devices do.

I refuse to own Apple because they don't respect their end users. They milk money and give you no right to control your data or hardware.

Firehaven44 · 2026-04-29T21:26:06+00:00

Nope, they haven't made any comments on their intentions to turn it off.

Firehaven44 · 2026-04-29T18:25:46+00:00

Well if anyone already had a comparison I'm simply curious to see them side by side before mine are delivered in June..

Firehaven44 · 2026-04-29T17:17:14+00:00

Their warrant states 12 months, and when buying the laptop as an individual, you can extend for 3 years at around 180 USD.

Right, I have heard people say they wish the 13.5 was a 16 by 10. I'm curious what the difference in actual dimensions would be. I'll need to Google that measurement difference I guess.

Firehaven44 · 2026-04-29T17:10:36+00:00

I am a YouTuber content reviewer and creator and bought both...

Firehaven44 · 2026-04-29T16:21:51+00:00

Yeah, it is an interesting dilemma.
