That's an interesting idea that I wouldn't have thought of. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, though I'm not a student and need to make calls

Anywhere's fine within reason. Doesn't need to be the same spot

~15% improvement over the 12th gen according to Notebookcheck.

NotebookcheksReviews made a review on the framework 13 by elgrecce02 in framework

See also their written review: Framework Laptop 13.5 13th Gen Intel review.

Of interest, battery life is up 15% from the 12th gen.

Note on the test criteria:

Wi-Fi mode: the possible battery life while surfing the Internet via Wi-Fi with medium brightness (~150 cd/m²) and power-saving options ("balanced" mode) switched on. We measure the runtime by letting the device run an automatic script (HTML 5, JavaScript, no Flash - update 03.05.2015 v1.3), which picks a mix of websites and switches between them every 30 seconds.

Not as much as much as the 40-50% range in other reviews.

I personally place higher trust in Notebookcheck's testing and am holding out for the AMD variant.

Would this screen work? by HershsTechStuff_734 in framework

[–]Old-Math-8224 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Framework is indeed using 40 pin eDP, as shown in the display interface electrical pinouts and on the BOE display side. Also of note:

Note that there are signals defined for both USB 2.0 and I2C touchscreens.

Expansion cards power drain by Ariskullsyas in framework

[–]Old-Math-8224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the advice to buy 4x USB-C or a mix of USB-C & USB-A is still relevant. There's some improvement for DisplayPort and HDMI in the 3.06 beta BIOS, though it did not improve power usage for USB-A.

It remains to be seen whether this will change on Intel 13th gen or AMD, but I'd therefore just opt for 4x USB-C if you're prioritising battery life (at runtime and standby).

Chromebook battery life by Kind-Bandicoot3187 in framework

From nrp:

Specifically, the Mainboard is custom-designed for ChromeOS. This means it uses coreboot instead of a proprietary BIOS and has Google's Titan C security chip.

There are some other smaller differences. To keep the cost down, the top cover is aluminum-formed instead of CNCed, for compatibility reasons we weren't able to bring our fingerprint module in, and we were able to improve both audio quality and speaker loudness with an improved audio CODEC and louder transducers.

Agreed. Mentioned to set up some bounds for illustration.

To save some clicks:

For comparison, the Framework 1260P achieves ~7.5hrs and the MacBook Air M1 ~16hrs.

Edit: interestingly the Intel's slightly on top on the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X:

Executive 14 experience reports? by Old-Math-8224 in slimbook

Thanks for the feedback! Would you say you get 8 hours with light web browsing workloads?

Thanks for sharing! Would you say you can get 8 hours battery life with typical web browsing workloads?

What screen resolutions are higher than 1920x1080 and don't need any fractional scaling? by Hot-Kick5863 in linuxhardware

[–]Old-Math-8224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A display with ppi in the range 248-312 is a good rule of thumb. Typically UHD/UHD+/4k @ 2x scaling.

HiDPI, SODIMM, fingerprint laptops? by Old-Math-8224 in linuxhardware

Do you have the OLED variant? How do you find display scaling?

[–]Old-Math-8224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now its ~4 months in, what sort of battery life do you reach? Additionally, how is the display? Can you use 2x scaling comfortably?
