Framework laptop is a good option as well.
- tomrod 4y agoI had a Framework and really liked it. Unfortunately the components just degraded really quickly for me, and now can't work but 20 minutes at a time until it freezes completely. Swapped out for a Thinkpad last week. Even swapped out the Framework mainboard after a long back and forth with support. Just some poor battery unloading or similar causing shorts. I was very close to committing my company to using them until this started happening to my tester unit and my lead engineer's tester unit. I hope the best for Framework -- I really love their repairability promise -- but before I can commit my company to them I need them to not be lemons.
- yourapostasy 4y ago> Unfortunately the components just degraded really quickly for me... How long in months was “really quickly”?
- tomrod 4y agoFirst freeze in the first two weeks, six months until unusable.
- brokenmachine 4y agoI'd be running a RAM test. Try out Memtest86 - I think it's also usually an option in the boot menu on Ubuntu live-DVDs. Let it run overnight, I've had crashes like that before where the RAM only starts failing after a few hours of memtesting.
- tomrod 4y agoI tried to work around that by trying different RAM sticks. 2 initial + 2 new, both sides, swapping, using only one, etc. I guess next step would be Memtest! Thanks for the reminder.
