Framework 13\" Ryzen 7 - 32GO ram - 500Go

Hi guys !

After a week with my new framework 13" i wanted to share a quick feedback about my experience :

Pros

  • Framework team did a great job with the hardware modularity, a 15yo kid should be able to setting up a laptop
  • I'm in love with the QR Codes to help people set up the computer, good idea !
  • The keyboard keys are smooth and close to what i had on a MacBook Pro, which is quite rare
  • Working well with ArchLinux (EndeavourOS), first try, in less than 10min the OS was fully installed. I just had a too sensitive touchpad, i fixed it with some tricks

Cons

  • Speakers are very bad, i don't really need it but for people who need it most, it can be a pain point.
  • Screen ratio/resolution and frequency. Why a 3:2 screen and not a 16:9 one ? ๐Ÿ˜ญ in the same way, it would be very good to have a screen who support at least 120hz (screen resolution/ratio is to me, a really pain point)
  • Bonus: If one day you managed to implement an ARM architecture or other fanless architecture ... it would be the PERFECT computer.

Thanks for all the persons involved in this project ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Ew no, 3:2 for FW 13 is so much better than 16:9. That's for media and gaming. An ultrabook like this with no GPU is more for office work shit. I'd rather have 3:2 for more vertical real estate when reading PDFs or word docs or spreadsheets etc.
