Woops, missed that context! Assumed you meant 13 inch framework models in general!

I've been daily driving a first gen 13"/i7 model for 2 years now. It's not the best laptop I've ever owned, but it's my favorite.

Battery dies in sleep, sometimes it won't wake up... honestly things I can live with. In exchange, I've been able to increase ram, replace the screen, and upgrade the back panel myself. I've also switched up my port configuration twice over the 2 years and that's been super convenient.

It's like running a less mainstream desktop environment: It's got rough edges, but I picked it for reasons besides stability and consistency.

I'm going to grab an AMD mainboard next year instead of buying a new laptop, and will turn the old mobo into a server for my website.

Idk, it's got issues, but no more than any other laptop I've run Linux on. It's good enough and I smile every time I pull it out of my bag and see the gear logo (even when it turns out it died in my bag lol)

@OP The Motorola Atrix tried this a while ago, but it wasn't particularly popular with reviewers
