Framework is in fact are working on the firmware to improve battery life, primarily with the Intel TB4 (Burnside Bridge) retimers. Here's the work to reduce power consumption w/ the DP expansion card: https://community.frame.work/t/beta-displayport-expansion-card-firmware-update-to-reduce-system-power-consumption/22325?page=2 https://community.frame.work/t/beta-displayport-expansion-ca... And here they talk about what they learned working on the Chromebook version: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32927094 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32927094 that they've been working on in the latest (beta currently) BIOS updates: https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-06-beta/25726 https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-06... For anyone interested, you can take a look at their community forums - they're doing as much Linux support as anyone else out there I think: https://community.frame.work/ https://community.frame.work/ The LG gram has a few things going for it: * Soldered LPDDR memory is lower power than SODIMMs * Not having the extra retimer, not needing it to be active unless the TB4 port is used * A lower res display (1920x1200) * A 72Wh battery, which is 30% bigger than the 55Wh in the Framework That being said, LG (and other ODM/OEMs) have been making laptops for almost 20 years, and Framework is on year two on basically their first design, so it's probably to be expected that they have some stuff to learn/improve.
