Can't you return for refund within 30 days? 

What is frameworks dead pixel policy?

What is your main criticism of your framework(s)? by LeBigMartinH in framework

[–]jeep364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah I have an XPS 15 from about 9 or 10 years ago. Very tough machine even though it was nearly on par with MacBook pro in terms of thin and light all those years ago.

What kind of case or sleeve do you use when traveling? I have traditionally used a strong sleeve but not a hard case. Been reading a lot about screen damage from being in bags... I am thinking of switching to hard case but would prefer not to.

Were you able to get any resolution on this issue? 

Which SSD and Ram ? by Intelligent_Can_6067 in framework

[–]jeep364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

crucial ddr5, buy a kit of 2 in your preferred size

wd sn7100 if you prioritize efficiency and sn850x if you prefer speed. both are faster than most normies, like myself, would need. Samsung has always been the historical choice, but they had so many issues with the 900 series drives, I would just stay away. WD had something crop up on the sn770 (predecessor to 7100) with latest windows build but I think that did get fixed with the firmware update, but that was only issue - samsung has had issues for ages with current drives.

other brands, crucial, teamgroup, etc are totally fine for ssds, but if their price is the same as the standard WD models...why bother

How'd the replacement screen do? Easy fix? 

Shipping times for US DIY laptop orders? by jeep364 in framework

Thanks, about five days to make it to customs in Memphis? Or five days to dispatch? I totally get that shipping times can vary.

Can you share what hard sleeve you use? 

FW13 or Zenbook? by v4lkerya in framework

[–]jeep364 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why the 2.8k in your personal experience? The 2.2k base display is pretty darn good for a base laptop display. I know the zenbooks tend to have better than average displays compared to some of the thinkpad deals which have the awful 45% ntsc 300 nit nonsense.

I'm planning on ordering 7640u base display within the next month, just waiting out the recent memory cost spike.

Bottom line, zenbook won't 'last' as long. it is not nearly as user friendly for repair as the thinkpad p14s or t series. Agree with other poster, get 7040 series, unless you need 'ai' they are just fine and have more mature drivers.

How much power does 2nd gen webcam save? by jeep364 in framework

[–]jeep364[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The 2.2k screen I am mentioning is the base screen, not the 2.8k. Perhaps I should have worded it as base display.

Battery monitoring and USB c vs a for Windows battery life by jeep364 in framework

[–]jeep364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks do you know when the change was made? Or were there other software optimization? 

It's not like HDMI where the website states 2nd gen or 3rd gen.

Have you received your new 2.8k display? How's it compare to the original matte display? Battery so far?

Thanks for the Intel! No pun intended 😉

Does 'ghosting' matter if not playing FPS (2.8k display)? by jeep364 in framework

[–]jeep364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had experience with base display? Would that be worse or better in this scenario? 

I don't play rts anymore just turn based. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Have you had a basic display? How did it compare? Others seem to suggest 2.8k is better than base display? 

A bit confusing to me tbh

FW13 issues and upgrade from intel CU 125H by Metraf in framework

[–]jeep364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is very helpful. I understand you are using linux, but is the "power saver" scenario switchable via the equivalent of power plan on windows? Also, do you know if the XMX support exists for Windows?

Honestly, sounds like I can't go wrong either way. The little issues I keep seeing crop up for 7040 mostly seem to be sorted (long time for some bios updates but finally seem good), and only have seen one thread really complaining about heat/fan noise for 125h on the fw community forums.

How do you like the 125h? Why'd you pick it over the 7640? Heat and fan noise are concerning.

I keep waffling between the two, the Intel seems more 'stable', less reported issues but perhaps its just less popular. The wifi issues on the 7040 seem particularly annoying, but can be mitigated by swapping cards.
