Starting at $1,199, not including ram or storage
RAM and storage? In this economy?
When I was looking at getting a nice laptop instead of my current high end desktop and cheap old laptop setup, I really considered a Framework. But honestly, Thinkpads are cheaper and just as repairable. Yeah, they don’t have the slide out port things, but they just have a lot of ports built in.

ThinkPad also has a nipple. After getting used to it I believe I will want it always.
A long time ago I had one with a mini trackball which I vastly prefer, but they dont make those anymore.
Michael needs an editor - lots of instances of the wrong word used, but it’s obvious what he meant so not the end of the world. Just kept jarring me out of focus on the review every time I hit one.
I don’t recall them really leaning into Linux so hard in their previous marketing but it’s all over now!
My only question with the Framework laptop is still “Is it upgradable to have physical buttons on the touchpad yet?”
A nipple and buttons on the top of the touchpad is all I need from them
Must be on their roadmap right after the printer
At least you can configure it not to have USB-A port. The other Linux-first manufacturers all think we’re in the time just when USB-C came out and all your devices where still USB-A, so a least include three USB-A ports!!!
Most devices I connect to my computer use USB A.
Without USB A I would not have mouse, keyboard, USB key, external SSD.
I know that there is a need for USB-A for some (most?) people, but for people like me, it’s a blocker. I want to buy these Linux-first laptops, but won’t do it. I have very few things that still need USB-A and most of those things are either connected to my desktop screen and accessed using USB-C hub or connected to USB-A power adapter.
