I have one. 64GB of memory and 2TB NVME. Pretty cool to be able to run android apps, crostini (lxd) and KVM machines (with nested virt) all at the same time.

- YmFzZTY0 3y agoYeah thats why it’s so appealing. Neat, what kind of battery life do you get? And how are temps/thermals?
- hedora 3y agoCan you get it with a standard bios (or flash one)? I have no interest in Chrome OS, but I'd like a framework laptop that reliably runs Linux out of the box without setting the kernel taint bit.
- rsync 3y agoCan you elaborate ? Can I run any android app as if it were running on a phone ? I am specifically thinking of running the 'lyft' app and booking a car ... is that possible ?
- ewoodrich 3y agoYou can run most Android apps, but the developer can opt out of it showing as compatible for Chromebooks on the Play Store I believe. You can also sideload APKs. Some apps can be resized well, others are stuck in their default size and orientation. Compatibility is pretty mature and solid at this point. They can also be pinned and float which is kinda cool. I am able to download and sign in to Lyft app on my Chromebook but didn't try to book a ride with it.
- HALtheWise 3y agoMinor side note, but you might be interested to know that https://ride.lyft.com/ https://ride.lyft.com/ exists. I was surprised and happy when I learned that.
- greggsy 3y agoNone of those capabilities are specific to the framework laptop though? Or are you referring to the high ram enabling multiple VMs?
