My Framework is easily the best laptop I've ever owned. I purchased the original 11th gen model from a local friend who was "bored" of it
Other than the rather "meh" speakers (which they offered a replacement for after releasing the largely compatible 'Chromebook' model) I've yet to really have any major complaints about the device
I went as far as pre-ordering the 13th gen i5 upgrade board, complete with a Windows 11 upgrade (rather than reinstall). Amazingly the machine actually feels faster than it did with the original top-end 11th gen i7, along with having significantly improved battery life due to the newer more efficient chip
I've got an open pre-order for the AMD model due "Late Q3" that I'm extremely excited for. I could upgrade piecemeal to it as I've done with the 13th gen model but it seems easier to simply purchase the whole machine outright and then use the older as a source of parts if needed
If Framework could finally get Coreboot support it would quite likely be the perfect laptop for me. Until then though it's the only laptop I'm willing to personally recommend to friends
