My 11th gen Intel Framework is my only PC and has been a great machine. I use it for dev, gaming, and general computing. Integrated Intel graphics goes surprisingly far if you run games at 720p - Skyrim, Dishonered, the Mass Effects, and more recently Battlebit all run well. I'd imagine the more recent Ryzens would be much better.
I want the 16 for more screen real-estate and better gaming; I've had family notice my laptop and make positive comments, so I may pass it on when I eventually upgrade.
On a related note, I saw someone else with a Framework laptop at a coffee shop the other day here in Alaska - super cool! First time I've seen another Framework user :)

- jandrese 3y ago> run games at 720p - Skyrim, Dishonered, the Mass Effects 720p and games that are 12+ years old or are deliberately low poly. That's not the most ringing of endorsements.
- Gigachad 3y agoI remember playing Skyrim in 720p on my 2012 MacBook Air through wine..
- callalex 3y agoWhile I agree with you that pc gaming is such a mature space that you can have an entire lifetime of fun with a historical catalog, the games you are describing are brushing up against the category of “retro gaming” at this point and the performance you are describing would be considered poor in the year those titles were released.
