Is 2026 going to be the year of the framework laptop?
>>109074944No
>>109074944Yes. You just just don't know it yet.
Yes. Mogs Dell in terms of quality, Lenovo in terms of price, and Apple in terms of operating system
>>109074944expensive lego toys for predditors. what does this offer that other laptops don't? I can get cheap chink parts for any other laptop that's not a macbook. I don't like the stupid "modular" port gimmick.
>>109075167this is basically the fate of anything claiming to be "modular" or "minimalistic", expensive or not. it either turns into some tacky bloated novelty that people insist is "modular" because it throws the peasants carrots, or it's some extremely cumbersome ultra-minimalist bullshit that people insist is the "right way" to do things when in reality nobody was ever doing it that way
>>109074944More like Year of the $2026 Framework LaptopAnd that's just the base Pro config, God forbid you ask for more RAM and more CPU.
>>109074944public boardview or they should stop larping about right to repair shit
>Years later>Still don't ship to JapanNot for me it's not.
It's just a more hipster Macbook, down to having glorified proprietary USB-C dongles and upselling it as "modular I/O". And yes, those are USB-C dongles as they'll work on any non-Framework device, meaning that you have to pay for what's essentially USB-C passthrough modules to connect standard USB-C dongles to their proprietary slots if you don't want to fiddle with them.One of the worst brand cults in the space, other being Noctua. Same mentality of getting a superior product, while in reality you're overpaying for something that was already done better by other companies for less.
>>109074944>more expensive than MacBookslmao
>>109076037at least with noctua you know you are overpaying for marginal gainnot for supporting agenda that the company doesnt even believe themselves in the truest sense
>>109075993you're too retarded and poor to pay 50$ and 30 minutes of your time for a shipping forwarding company?
>still no reason to buy one of these over a macbook or thinkpadno
>>109074944I will likely only ever own Dell, Lenovo, and HP laptops. Laptops are free, they aren't something you pay for as an individual. The world is swimming in perfectly serviceable ewaste.
>>109074944They need an improved 16 inch model. the butt module is stupid and ugly, and so is the modular keyboard deck. It needs to be a single plate, with maybe a keyboard you can change.
id rather buy a macbook than pay them $100 for usb ports
framework sucks, is a shitty company, I would never give them a dime. They are overpriced and the idea of 'upgrading' your laptop is mentally retarded
>>109074944I've had a MacBook for 5 years and never in that time did I want to upgrade anything on it. Maybe it made sense in the past decades when tech rapidly improved but now you're not going to be upgrading frequently
>£1200 for the absolute base spec Framework 13 with 8GB RAM & 512GBLol what are they smoking to be charging these prices.
Masha'allah
>>1090749442026 is already over and Framework has not done anything cool
>>109076167the selling point is getting replacement partsyou really gonna do that for each part you order retard?
>>109075993if I were you I'd just get a used thinkpad or lets note and call it a day
>>109075167>repairable computers are redditContrarianism is not a valid substitute for a personality.
>>109076167considering the people that order them have a lot of stories of returns/warranty/support claims due to poor quality of the shell, good luck with thatthis computer may have started out with noble intentions, but in its current state its just luxury beliefs manifested into a laptopthe 4 built in dongles are cute but wait until you see how manufacturers have gotten around that by baking all the ports you would need to already be in the laptopthe fanboys easily confuse repairability with upgradeability. most enterprise laptops can more or less be repaired when you get them used, but not upgraded.
>>109074944https://youtu.be/74HjBuJUdVo?is=3a3KvZfbqMFCGOCPtldw; too expensive
>>109074944As much as I'd like to fund more noble causes like this considering all the literal trash plastic """thin""" laptops being churned out now with any kind of metal casing being a luxury.Unfortunately they already were pricey to get and the rampocalypse essentially makes them for richfags only
>>109076167you are talking to an autistic amerimutt larping as japanese
>>109074944Got a FW13 2 years ago, perfectly servicable for my usecase. Just got the basic shell and everything else third-party. Might get the touch screen since I have to give online presentations.
>>109078192>12 days agobuy an ad
>>109078152except nobody designed computers to be "repairable" 20 years ago, they just were. show don't tell, it's a total marketing gimmick
>>109074944Shamefur dispray>The only reason they don't support crypto as payment is that it consumes energyhttps://moneroshamelist.com/company/framework
>>109078169even clevo mogs this shit
>>109074952Fpbp“I don’t want to use a MacBook” really isn’t much of a business plan.
No. It's the year of the MacBook Neo.
>>109074944It did its job, we don't need them anymore
not buying until they have thunderbolt 5
