blinry (DECT 2546)My Framework laptop is here! ✨ It's a modular, repairable laptop that I've been hearing really good things about!
This is the "DIY edition", so let's assemble all the pieces together!
I'm greeted by a small envelope in the lid of the box, which contains... stickers! \o/ And a QR code leading to the assembly guide.
The keyboard, the display bezel, the main device itself, and the "expansion cards" all come in their own boxes.
Not super happy about the choice of Torx screws, as I feel I won't always have one at hand. But at least the prodvide a screwdriver! :)
I like how all components have links to documentation! Importantly, they publish the specifications of all the used connectors on GitHub: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13
Let's install the RAM! I got 2 x 16 GB from a different vendor. My last laptop that had swappable RAM was my first Thinkpad 14 years ago.
I really hope that in another 10 years, we'll think of swappable laptop parts as totally normal again...
First impressions of the #Framework laptop (in comparison to my previous X1 Yoga Gen 5)! First, the bad things:
Under load, the fan is really loud.
The speakers sound a bit tinny/compressed.
At first, I was extremely distressed because the Ctrl + Fn keys are swapped, but thankfully, you can revert that in the BIOS.
I miss the trackpoint. :( Think I'll have to learn even more keyboard shortcuts.
When I tried attaching two external screens via a docking station, the Framework crashed :O
Things I like:
The 3D performance of the integrated AMD GPU is a huge step up from the X1!
The aluminum body and the keyboard feel really nice.
The BIOS boots super fast!
I like the 3:2 screen ratio.
Super happy with my Framework laptop by the way!
The module system is great. I printed a snack drawer today! Now I can always take three peanuts with me!
HawkWolf (H. A. Kirsch)@blinry me, using only 1 brain cell: well actually, that's six peanuts
my other brain cell, waking up: YOU MORON HOW CAN YOU FORGET HOW PEANUTS WORK

@blinry same energy as using the CD-ROM as a drink tray
c0c0bird@blinry That is how to hide your illegal keep-me-awake pills on business trips.

Erik Ableson@blinry @lmorchard Just thinking you could store quite a few MicroSD cards in that amount of space
Kevin P. Fleming@blinry Epic. I will keep Necco wafers in mine.

You should put a "Can contain traces of peanuts" sticker on it.

WagesOf@blinry wasn't Obama's lunch like 8 almonds or something? That's close to being a full meal!
√-ʇoɾəuɐnɾ 🍜🦄@blinry Apparently not taking the context that an HDMI port is not itself the size of a PCMCIA card, my sense of scale had me hoping those were gyoza (or mandu). 🥟
Oh well, such steamy, one-side-fried umami perfection probably wouldn’t be good for the insides of your rig.
So, does this module help you stream Charles Schulz comics?
Och Menno@blinry ist nen 13 Zöller ? Bin ja massiv am grübeln 13 oder 16 Zoll
@OchmennoPodcast Genau, 13 Zoll. Die 16 waeren mir zu gross und schwer grad.
@blinry Jo aber die Leistung und 3d foo vom 16 ist schon verlockend ^^ aber nicht mehr Sofa geeignet
hanemile@blinry 3:2, not 4:3, right?
