4. Framework has a normal rectangular screen without any cutouts.

Yes, many people are already used to the cut.

But the cut, in my opinion, is just for product managers, not for users. Users don’t need the top thin bezel so much.

5. The Framework has a much longer key travel (1.5 mm). The experience is close to the famous ThinkPad keyboards (or old MacBook before they went to super-thin).

This is subjective, but good key travel is an important part of deep feedback (“closer to mechanical keyboard”).

6. You can fix your Framework laptop at your home without even giving the laptop to the service center.

Spare parts have reasonably priced.

It’s a very cool feeling when you don’t have to be afraid to break your laptop and lose a lot of money.

For instance, I’m not afraid to give a laptop to my child to play.

7. The Framework company is constantly releasing new versions of parts:
— motherboards with new processors
— new screens with better DPI
— better camera
— higher capacity batteries.

You can update the laptop at home with reasonable amount of money.

8. Framework laptop has modular ports with extensions slots.

You can choose which ports you will have today (microSD or full SD, HDMI on the side where you have of the projector, DisplayPort, 2 audio jacks).

9. It’s a nice feeling when you help not a big corporation, but a small motivated team.

The announcements are not bullshit slides, but the CEO himself tells in the back room what has been changed and why (and even talks honestly about the limitations).

10. Framework has amazing support.

The CEO himself reads the forum and answers there sometimes.

They really help with Linux.

They don’t turn away from strange questions (for example, they gave a guide of what to fix on motherboard for one rare request).

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

11. You can use Linux on Framework (it’s even officially supported).

Which means you will have Docker running natively.

On Linux Docker is just an FS/processes namespace with no extra cost of CPU, not as a Linux in virtual machine like on a Mac.

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

12. With Framework, you have a real sense of owning the laptop (rather than renting it from a big company).

You know how it works inside, and it’s not a “magical black box”.

The same laptop can evolve with you.

13. Framework is now something unique and unusual, a good way to stand out, like unusual clothing.

A good ice-breaker at a conference.

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

14. Having Framework means that you do not support Apple, who helping Chinese and Russian regimes by banning VPNs in App Store or antiwar songs in iTunes

Andrey Sitnik replied to Andrey

15. Of course, it's not a very common scenario, but the Framework laptop extension cards are just USB-C adapters.

So any of them can be taken out and plugged into a phone or other laptop. For example, if your neighbor need HDMI port.
