@krutonium @quasigod I mean the advantage is that those devices are supported with @GrapheneOS ...

  • Whether you choose them or not is up to you...

Personally, I need my #ToolfreeSwappableBattery, #DualSIM and #microSD as well s #HeadphoneJack and won't negotiate these, so #Fairphone is already loosing me as a customer and my next device will likely be something else...

@halva +9001%

Just like #ToolfreeSwappableBattery and real #DualSIM (not #eSIM! If I want that I'll get that myself...)

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!

@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!

  • I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.

Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.

That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...

Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.

Do I interpret this correctly, @frameworkcomputer ?

You're working on a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery version of your laptops?

Cuz that's the one thing I really want to see - ideally on a 13" device!

Also please let me know once you got a #USB_C #PowerDelivery #Charger that can do 240W / 48V @ 5A because I could really use such a beast...

240W USB-C PD chargers are nearly here, says Framework CEO

Framework is taking us to 180 watts of USB-C power, and says it expects 240-watt chargers right around the corner. The Framework Laptop 16 can support both.

@baskin reminds me of the closest thing to this done by @Fairphone which pointed out that people could jist #repair and #reuse their devices by i.e. buying a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery instead of a new device.

Not to mention it's an absolute #AssholeMove by all #Laptop manufacturers to not have a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery on their device!

Because there is no valid reason for that shit, when #Panasonic #Toughbook CF-19 were #waterproof with toolfree swappable battery and devices like the #Sony #Vaio #P11Z were thin & light yet had toolfree-swappable batteries...

Personally, if I had to buy a #Laptop, it would be a @frameworkcomputer since the #NUCbook isn't ready...

And I'd encourage others to also make that choice.

It's just that it's missing a #ToolfreeSwappableBattery as essential & non-negotiable feature for me!
