We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...

I bought a 1st gen Framework, making the bet they will still be around and have sell upgrades for my laptop 5+years from now when I need an upgrade. So far they are delivering on their promises and the price remains acceptable (even if high than the competition).

very satisfied about linux support
very satisfied about reperability, customizability
very satisfied with overall spec. and design

not so satisfied by battery management and autonomy

it's not even higher in some cases.

Was looking for a new work laptop a year or so ago, and compared a thinkpad with framework. Same exact hardware inside, and the price difference was 50ct. With the thinnkpad having poorer upgradability, soldered on ram and (imo) worse build quality.

It was the perfect way to test out a framework, and now I own one for personal use as well

What do you mean with autonomy?

[-] happyhippo@feddit.it 27 points 9 months ago

Probably not native. In Italian we also say "autonomia" to indicate battery life or distance you can still cover with the fuel in your tank.

[-] jack@monero.town 9 points 9 months ago

Ah that makes sense, thanks

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Yes this is what I mean. I though this was also use in english. Basically, how long you last with 1 charge.

Hopefully battery life will get much better with the next gen Intel CPUs (14th gen and later). Of course that means nothing for people who already have the current gen.

I mean, with Framework laptops, it does mean something since upgrading to a new cpu doesn't involve buying a whole new laptop.

They already fixed some HW issue related to that in the 2nd gen (intel 12th gen).
