I’d been eyeing the Framework laptop since somewhere in October 2021, but the EU release got delayed and they were very hesitant to give time estimates. I only managed to get my hands on it in late February, and I ended up having to have it delivered to France. I understand the difficulty of setting up logistics especially these days, but I broke my previous laptop and being stuck in limbo like this was not fun.

This required setting up a swap file and setting a kernel command line parameter to refer to it, but it was easy to do. It works well. I’ve observed the laptop auto-hibernating when the battery runs out, but it doesn’t do this reliably, so I should probably configure it myself.

Framework seems to advertise their keyboard as having particularly deep travel, but it mostly just feels like any chiclet keyboard to me. Not a bad chiclet keyboard, but not that great, either. The layout is fine, but it makes me miss the thinkpad.

Touchpad

I’ve never had a decent touchpad before, so I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to miss the trackpoint on the thinkpad a lot, but this is fine, though it’s still a step down. Pinch to zoom doesn’t work very well, but I don’t use that functionality a lot. I miss having dedicated mouse buttons; the clicking functionality on this touchpad works fine for me, but it’s hard not to mess up left/middle/right click. That’s a good incentive for me to practice relying on the mouse less, though. There’s plenty of work being done on the Linux touchpad experience software-side, too. It’s a nice time to be a linux laptop user!

With the disclaimer that I haven’t tested very intensely and I haven’t tuned power settings very much.
I seem to get about 6.5 hours of real-world use time when using Emacs and doing light web browsing. I don’t have a good benchmark for more intensive tasks, but compiling does hit the battery pretty hard. All in all I’m very happy with it, getting decent battery life on Linux is hard. It might be worth eventually buying a power bank for it though, for travel~ @@ -427,18 +427,18 @@ I seem to get about 6.5 hours of real-world use time when using Emacs and doing

Expansion cards/ports

The little expansion cards are one of Framework’s big marketing things. I think they’re pretty neat, though I don’t always quite understand the way people talk about them, as “dongle killers”. I would find hotswapping these about equally obnoxious as carrying dongles. The idea of aftermarket expansion cards is interesting, though - these are low level, high bandwidth ports, with I think similar capabilities to the ExpressCard ports on old business laptops, but more modern with a USB-C port. I’m looking forward to the USB4 era!

So far I haven’t felt limited by performance at all, the experience has been really snappy. I haven’t thrown particularly difficult things at it, though, but that’s fine - most of what I do on a laptop is reading, web browsing, and text editing. I played some Factorio on it and that seemed fine, but using the touchpad felt limiting so I didn’t play very much.

Getting this laptop set up has been really fun! It’s a good opportunity to take stock of where we’re at. On the hardware side, I am very impressed that it’s now possible to make a laptop that’s this user-servicable, this well-specced and still not that expensive. It’s a reminder of how much better things could be.
