I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

For me

  • The speakers are quiet, I quite often have to have my volume at max to be able to hear anything clear
  • The speakers are poor quality, I wouldn't listen to music on my laptop, or watch a movie through the speakers
  • Battery life on Linux is poor, I can't get through a work day without having to charge

A minor complaint is that I find the trackpad kinda mid. It isn't bad by any means, probably the best non-apple trackpad I've ever used, but the Apple trackpad is better by a mile still

really? the speakers work pretty fine for me, I can hear them over the fans. but then again, I am in a kind of noisy house.
