Questions regarding Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U (alien.top)

Hi,

I'm looking to switch from my M1 MBP 14inch to a Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U. I'm contemplating about switching because I really like the options of not having to worry about paying a fortune if I break something, and the idea of being able to upgrade the laptop later on is really cool.

I'm a second year student in college studying software engineering, so my usage of the Framework wouldn't be that heavy, just web-browsing, coding & compiling.

How long would the battery last for my usage if anyone has a similar workflow with the Framework?

For anyone that has switched from a Macbook to Framework, is there anything you regret or miss?

The only things that are still holding me back from fully pulling the trigger is the battery life, quality of keyboard and laptop, and 60Hz display, but otherwise I really like the product.

Thanks.

I also have a M1 MBP 14"
MPB wins for touchpad and battery life, hands down. I really wish a bigger touchpad was available (space would be an issue).

Keyboard is really, really close. MBP by a slim margin. but this is the nicest kb on a win laptop I've used.
Screen quality is a draw.

FW wins for upgrade/support, flexibility of ports, running Win/Linux. And weight, it weights a lot less.

I don't worry about fixing a Mac. My 2012 Retina is still going. Battery needs replaced, but everything else works. Wish I could get a newer OS on it, but otherwise its still a great machine.
