Comment on Review: Framework’s Laptop 16 is unique, laudable, fascinating, and flawed

it’s nearly two pounds heavier, 3 inches wider, and 1.5 inches deeper. Adding the graphics module adds another two-thirds of a pound and almost an inch of extra depth.
Ill take that over non upgradable and more importantly no repairable laptop that becomes e waste.

Yep. I have the 13" and it’s lightweight and portable… If I got the 16" I wouldn’t count those things missing and “being a bit bigger” as a downside. That’s kind of the point isn’t it?

Agreed. Thin and light would be great if they offered any kind of reparability but framework is still new. The fact the company is doing well at all is pretty impressive imo.
I planed on getting one but atm i dont think i can justify it.
How do you like it? You running Windows or Linux?

I love it. It’s first gen, so has some of the early adopter quirks, but it’s my favorite laptop ever, hands down. Next laptop will most likely be a framework again.
I run both Windows 11 and Linux (Ubuntu 23.10 currently). Windows works as you’d expect. On Linux, everything works out of the box. Scaling the display to 125% or 150% is a bit of a gamble though, but that’s not the laptop’s fault.
