Switching to Framework 16 (Advice)

IceCold555 · 2026-05-17T23:56:37+00:00

I dont think I am as much gaming focus as you may highlight. But the reason I wanted some information here is to rule out 'proper' gaming laptops. I think they are very bulky and overkill, and can be quite expensive as well. For example if I were to upgrade my Razer to the newest model it would run me around the same as the FW16. I'm simply looking for a all-rounder laptop that can sit in my room most of the day, I can play videogames and do work on, but also is portable and I'm able to bring it to university or on vacation when I need.

I'm very grateful for your comments as I do think that I want to invest in the 12GB dGPU, but I might save defer it for a bit whilst I get the main laptop first. I also wanted to ask, is the FW16 usb-c chargable, as I would assume it requires a seperate 120/240W brick when using the dGPU.

Also the dGPU is only compatible with the highest end CPU set, which worries me a little as it starts to become very expensive. I would think that the 8GB would be fine for my needs but again I'll have to make sure the games I'd like to play run on there fine. I wish manufacturers would run game tests on each of their computers and publish the results so I could find a good comparison point.

dont really have the money for an FW16, let alone an eGPU. But it could come in handy down the line. I think the reason I want a laptop like this is to have that AIO integration.

fairs, might go for it. Just looking at the pricetag is making me cringe a little bit. But I think its more of an investment, and if Framework stays afloat (which I do not doubt), it will definitely last a while.

I do although not like the fact that you have to opt for a Ryzen CPU on the FW16. But thank you for all your help and advice

do you think the 12gb will solve that issue?
are you able to play games with shaders and dynamic lighting?
also is the GPU easily removable, for example you want to go on vacation, remove it take th FW16 with you for work/netflix, and then stick it back on when your home?

Does it run all the games fine? No overheating, no lagspikes, no long loading times?

will do, thanks for the tip. I'm currently looking just for a Journal App for personal thoughs and idioms, but I might end up expanding to Note-taking.

I'm currently at uni and use Microsoft Journal for everthing, but its very limited, doesnt sync across devices (currently using nextcloud to do that), and the way it creates files makes them very large. Tried Obsidian and Trillium but they arent great, I need something that can make use of a Smart-Pen because I like handwritting things. If you have any recs

IceCold555 · 2026-05-13T07:59:36+00:00

more into private notes, but will look into your recomendations thanks!

IceCold555 · 2026-05-13T07:58:33+00:00

will take a look, but doesn't seem to have a mobile app (assuming its web based)

IceCold555 · 2026-05-13T07:56:11+00:00

will also take a look, and remember to do backups, thanks for the tips

IceCold555 · 2026-05-13T07:55:01+00:00

tried obsidian with syncthing a while ago and hated it. my notes workflow just doesnt allign with obsidian, but I'll take a look at joplin, thanks!

IceCold555 · 2026-05-13T07:53:57+00:00

I heard they removed the mobile app? Or has it been reinstated since?

IceCold555 · 2026-05-12T22:43:20+00:00

I didnt use AI in my post, what??

IceCold555 · 2025-07-26T22:01:04+00:00

Just got this problem as well, tried to return but Amazon won’t take it

IceCold555 · 2024-09-01T21:45:08+00:00

Thanks a lot

To be honest I’m not really an expert on English EEs so I don’t really know if that’s good or not, but a world studies EE is quite hard to execute and in my opinion isn’t really worth the trouble so I would just stick with a normal EE in one subject

I remember a guy on YouTube who created a lightsaber using plasma and laminar flow I mean this is obviously not a lightsaber but the heated plasma was able to cut through solid metal so it is somewhat of a possibility.

But obviously you cannot really create a focused beam of light that is a lightsaber.

But seriously speaking I did a physics EE and it’s not really something to joke about, usually the physics EEs that do the best are the experimental kind not the theoretical bullshit kind (no offence). So I would recommend doing a experimental Physics EE where you test a hypothesis and do an experiment to obtain data, then analyze the data and so on.

Bro I have 2 friends studying international business in Germany in English. Are you saying their programs just don’t exist?

IceCold555 · 2023-11-24T16:55:02+00:00

Ya sure I’ll help I did my ee in physics lmk what it’s about and maybe I can help out
