>Feeling the heat from Framework!
It was bound to have an effect in the industry, as tech-savvy people select and recommend them simply because they're the least broken option.
Others are too disposable; made to break rather than last.
- pjmlp 3y agoI never seen a Framework live, I see Thinkpads every single day.
- vaylian 3y agoI've seen plenty of Framework laptops at hacker conferences.
- pjmlp 3y agoHacker conferences hardly decide IT planning business decisions, and very few attend them. In any case, I would bet they are outnumbered by fruity laptops.
- justinclift 3y ago> Hacker conferences hardly decide IT planning business decisions ... Probably a case of "the thin edge of the wedge". So in a few years time if/when Framework is more established, they might be an option for IT departments.
- Unfrozen0688 3y agoIf they provide warranty and support like Dell/HP/Lenovo then sure.
- vaylian 3y agoIT planning business? I'm pretty sure that virtually all laptops at hacker conferences are privately owned and not provided by an employer. Hackers want a good laptop for personal use or freelancing. That's why most hackers choose among Frameworks, Thinkpads and MacBooks.
- Unfrozen0688 3y agoCompanies buy in bulk from Dell, HP and Lenovo. The ThinkPads are especially great. I've used mine from work for 3 years now. Coming up on renewal, and it looks good as new, just the old 8th gen i5 bringing it down. "Hacker conferences" dosent matter in the real world, sorry
- begueradj 3y ago"Others are too disposable, made to break" -> that's true for electronic appliances and everything else (shoes, clothes, cars, smartphones...). That's how greedy business makes itself more profitable nowadays. For laptops, try T430: it can last for decades.
