- paxys 11mo agoBeelink GTR9 Pro is a great option as well.
- pixelpoet 11mo agoI actually cancelled my first FD order after seeing how much cheaper the Beelink was. Then after some weeks of waiting I noticed their website said sold out, and when I contacted their support they said oh yeah whoops, you might get your order in 3 months (website said up to one month). So right then I asked for a refund worrying I'd been scammed (paying a Chinese company in USD from Germany without seeing VAT was pretty sus already). Another thing is that apparently the ethernet is seriously broken, like makes the machine hang. Sill unfixed apparently, and also apparently the cooling isn't very good. Soooo I went back to FD preorder, got it soon after. Expensive, but ehhh... every time I look at it I get a little dopamine hit <3333
- sliken 11mo agoThe network issue is the windows driver, only relevant if you are running windows. There is a work around by pinning the old version and I believe there's a new driver that works, but isn't the final driver. Several reviewers have mentioned this.
- pixelpoet 11mo agoI set mine up today, what an amazing and beautiful machine. Goodbye Windows, hello Arch btw!
- lizardking 11mo agoMy Windows box has been a dust collector since receiving mine last month. Such a fantastic little machine.
- rts_cts 11mo agoIronically, I'm not keeping my Windows machine around for gaming but rather very specific CAD tools that, despite the developers best efforts, will probably only ever be windows tools. That said, I'm super close to pulling the trigger on the FW desktop and just installing a second drive for windows.
- lizardking 11mo agoInteresting - how do those sorts of tools run with Wine?
- sliken 11mo agoI got my framework desktop a few weeks ago, I'm quite fond of it.
