My nephew just graduated high school, and wants a laptop. When he decides what computer to buy, price (or more precisely, value) is the most important attribute. Apple's MacBook Neo upended the 'value laptop' equation—Apple's not supposed to be both the cheapest option and the best value... but it seems like that's squarely where the Neo landed for the good-but-cheap laptop category. My nephew is also my godson, and to kick off his computing journey, I thought I'd let him choose from a Framework 12 I bought to test, or the MacBook Neo I bought a couple months ago to use around the studio.
It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12

Finally installed the finale OS for my parents #framework12 laptops.
Went with #Fedora #workstation . I was originally planning to install #silverblue , but printing support in flatpaks is too flaky from my tests, and that's one thing they do often. So workstation it is 🤞
sometimes getting randomly logged out of #bluefin on my #framework12
weird.
yes, i bought a #framework12 for my daughter despite them supporting some terrible people

Why? I didn’t think I would buy a Frame.work laptop after the controversy about one of the Framework dude being dumb and sponsoring DHH, who I didn’t know who he was but after I looked him up is a garbage person. However, tablets are even worse. Expensive: iPad Air $18,921 NT, Galaxy Tab $22,080 NT They aren’t expensive in dollars, but they are expensive for how limited they are. You can’t play Steam games on them.
i am 90% happy with my kid's frame.work 12. the fit and finish isn't up to snuff compared to other commercial laptops. blog post will happen...eventually.
in ♥️ with PDA (and 🐧)
