"Reviews of the original Framework Laptop 13 were a little skeptical; my colleague Monica repeatedly pointed out that an upgradable laptop’s value “hinges on future support.” But in 2022, her headline was “promises kept.” And this year, as Framework shipped its third set of CPU upgrades for the Framework 13 while simultaneously improving battery life, she called the 2023 revisions “a DIY dream come true.”"

Did they ever fix the internal clock battery issue?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes they did. Starting with the 12th gen boards the RTC battery is optional. If you have one it will be topped up by the main battery, otherwise the main battery is used to keep the clock running. Source: https://frame.work/blog/whats-new-in-this-years-framework-laptop-13-part2

What’s that issue?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There was an issue with the 11th gen mainboards (the first Framework laptop generation) that if the laptop was left unplugged for too long (like, weeks), the internal RTC battery would deplete and the system would become unbootable without resetting the mainboard. They fixed it in the next generation, though.
