Unfortunately this review doesn’t mention the thing that I’ve come to adore since my M1 (now M3) Air: it’s dead silent since there is no fan. And in my normal use it never gets warm. Ever. I haven’t tried maxing out a game. I’m sure it warms some, but from what I’ve heard it won’t get hot. I know you can get better performance elsewhere. I don’t care. Having my laptop never get hit is a total game changer. My last 2-3 MBPs (Intel) all got hot and it got worse with each model. Do something stressful in the slightest? There’s the WOOSH. I wasn’t expecting to care as much but it’s such a huge QoL thing. I’m not going back to fans. I’m not going back to a hot keyboard. I’m done with it. If I were to get a Framework (or anything else) the ability to get a cool silent (or very close) configuration would be a huge concern for me. Do they offer that? Ive never looked. I’ve been hoping the new ARM PCs might be able to match, at least as more appear, but I read the initial ones all have fans. Outside of the fact I was hoping for comments on that, it was a nice article. It’s not surprising to me that the Air case looks better, unibody construction has a lot of advantages. But it’s expensive to make and repair and would probably make some of the flexibility Framework offers impossible. I was also pleasantly surprised to read the screen was ~200ppi. I know people’s reasons but having been in the >200 club for many years it annoys me to no end so many Windows laptops still ship with 1080p displays on 13 or 15” models.
