For anyone thinking about a Framework I would echo the same final thought. They have there issues but are really worth giving a shot. I have a 16 that had a motherboard that got bricked by a bios update. After trying everything to fix it that their tech support advised I did get a new motherboard shipped to me. Not a trivial thing to replace but doable and I've had no issues since. I realize that to many just hearing about that failure would turn you off of getting one but if it were any other company, I would have to send it back and more than likely the whole laptop would be scrapped. I probably also would have gotten the run around to get the approval to fix it first. I wish it just worked perfectly out of the box but their response was about as good as one could hope for. I can also say that on the 16, the hinge issue is fixed. I have a type A port but haven't used it heavily yet so can't comment on that one. As far as the sleep situation, I've been running linux for close to 10 years as my daily driver and I've had sleep issues off and on the entire time (with two previous Dell XPS 13's running mostly Ubuntu or Fedora). So far I haven't had them with the Framework 16 but I'm sure some update will trigger it at some point. I don't use my laptop for work, just for personal use, so maybe that lets me lean towards things that are a bit more finicky but if you care about open hardware this is a product that deserves your support. Having basically taken one apart as much as one can, I feel confident saying alot of good design went into this thing to make it physically durable and easy to take apart/assemble.
