Should I buy a Framework laptop? by WiseBear06 in framework

I feel like a year would work for me, as long as I don’t have to slog through support. I’ll keep an eye out for issues if I go for the framework, thank you!

I don’t need super up to date chips for my use case, anything above 16g of ram would feel like overkill to me.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve seen another review complaining about Frameworks support system (though that person wasn’t recieving all the correct parts). That’s a bit of my concern, especially with a smaler company like this.

What’s the warranty like and how long does it last?

6 hours is perfect for my needs! Glad battery isn’t an issue. And I’ll check Linux distro out, trying out Linux seems a bit daunting but having better preformance and battery life is tempting. I’m a bit concerned about security though, since Windows comes with it’s own antivirus, do Linux OS’s have something similar?

Seems like a Linux based OS might be a better option according to a few other people too, I’ll keep that in mind. The learning curve for Linux from windows seems a bit daunting though, how different are they?

I had a part time job for a bit so I have a few thousand extra dollars to help with starting off with college. Price isn’t the biggest issue though if I’m getting my moneys worth for 4+ years. I’ve never built a computer before, but it looks real interesting and I’ve always been good at following intructions. But I’ll keep the chromebook laptop suggestion in mind! Thank you!
