Gregory's ServerI'm greeted by a small envelope in the lid of the box, which contains... stickers! \o/ And a QR code leading to the assembly guide.

 Not super happy about the choice of Torx screws, as I feel I won't always have one at hand. But at least the prodvide a screwdriver! :) I like how all components have links to documentation! Importantly, they publish the specifications of all the used connectors on GitHub: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13 Let's install the RAM! I got 2 x 16 GB from a different vendor. My last laptop that had swappable RAM was my first Thinkpad 14 years ago. I really hope that in another 10 years, we'll think of swappable laptop parts as totally normal again... First impressions of the #Framework laptop (in comparison to my previous X1 Yoga Gen 5)! First, the bad things: Under load, the fan is really loud. The speakers sound a bit tinny/compressed. At first, I was extremely distressed because the Ctrl + Fn keys are swapped, but thankfully, you can revert that in the BIOS. I miss the trackpoint. :( Think I'll have to learn even more keyboard shortcuts. When I tried attaching two external screens via a docking station, the Framework crashed :O Things I like: The 3D performance of the integrated AMD GPU is a huge step up from the X1! The aluminum body and the keyboard feel really nice. The BIOS boots super fast! I like the 3:2 screen ratio. |
The keyboard, the display bezel, the main device itself, and the "expansion cards" all come in their own boxes.
