I bought the new framework 13 with a ryzen config (forgot which chip it was, i think i went for the 6 core one) with 16gb ram @5600Mtransfers/sec and 1tb wd black ssd with the cache thing, no OS. I also got 2 usb a, 2 usb c, and 1 hdmi ext. card.
paid around 1300eur netto, and i found the build quality to be on par with my old macbook 13. Matte display is also nice, though the brightness settings are not as 'wide' as the macbook's. The fan rarely ever ramps up, the keyboard is very comfortable compared to a 1st gen butterfy keyboard, and you can set the battery charge limit in the bios settings (e.g. limit charging to 60 %)
I am really happy with it.
- VadimPR 2y agoWhat is the benefit of limiting battery charging?

- xxs 2y agoif the li-ion is kept < 4.25v that should be no issue. I don't know why overcharging is even considered a thing (100% should be 4.22v or so for a standard li-ion cells). You can keep all tool batteries at around 4.2v (fully charged), and nothing happens - they don't degrade. What actually kill batteries is overcharging (which has to be done on purpose in the electronics) and heat, having internals over 60C is where the real issue is. I think phones are the 1st ones that started overcharging just to ensure lower life expectancy of the device... and of course much better autonomy during the 1st impressions.
