I mean at the end of the day, you’re buying a laptop from framework, if the laptops work does work that’s on them for choosing to use an intel chip with known issues.
Laptops are sold as an appliance for the most part, they have to own it’s quality.
Actually more than that, this should first be an excellent laptop and then the repairability and customisable it should be layered on top of that without compromising it (too much), as opposed to the other way around.
- nvarsj 5y agoThat's not really fair... no one is going to buy a new laptop without the most modern processor. The problem really is that Intel on mobile is awful and has only been getting worse as they try to compete. I guess you could say Framework dropped the ball by not using AMD.
- AlphaSite 5y agoI don’t think AMD makes Wi-Fi chipsets,so it’s somewhat irrelevant isnt it?
- nvarsj 5y agoI meant in terms of the OP's complaint about fans spinning up at the slightest usage - that is an Intel CPU issue. Modern mobile intel CPUs get way too hot, too easily. You're right, the wifi side is Intel, although Framework could have used an AX200 without any problems. Although, AX210 does work pretty flawlessly now in the most recent kernels.
