- Comment on Is this really the final laptop you will need this guy is claiming? it is completely customizable. 6 months ago:
I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps, Dell used to have this. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. And I have had to send parts back because it turned out I had the wrong part for Acer aspire 249 xuzi4s-90_eu instead of Acer aspire 249 xiay4-90-uk or whatever. What makes the framework laptops stand out is the ease of the repair process. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy. It’s also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven’t looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It’s the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You’ll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.
- Comment on People not from English-speaking countries, was it possible to watch cartoons in English subbed? 11 months ago:
Yes 95% of the time, original English audio track with subtitles and then local language. Except for the french versions, if I remember correctly those only had french dub as audiotrack. Could be wrong though we never bought/had those. When my parents were still in charge of tv time they put on the original version even if the original audio was something other than English and turned on local language subtitles. To practice other languages.
