| I've used Windows and Windows Server before. I helped guys from MS debug an issue in the bowels of Windows at one point in my career. But I can't really use Windows because of the type of work I do. It's a pain dealing with multiprocessing in Windows and Linux envirnoments to name a key sticking point. While yourself and a few others have pointed out that this is mostly just Linux bashing, Framework isn't entirely without fault here. Some things I didn't mention on the article because it was already pretty long and boring, and also some issues I've had since. In total, the issues I've had that I feel framework shares the bulk of responsibility for: - parasitic battery drain of around 40% overnight (win/linux + exacerbated by your choice of expansion ports) - the auto brightness - still yet to be able to connect anything via bluetooh - the speakers are terrible, think early nokia phone terrible - the fn key placement - when I put the laptop down on a surface with the screen open the screen will flex open to the point its facing the ceiling - usbc expansion ports don't go all the way in. They're also very tight but I think that would loosen up over time - the touchpad, while I haven't used it on windows, I would be suprised if it was better. Overall, I like: - keyboard - 3:2 ratio - 300 vs 800$ for 64gb ram - being able to upgrade to a bigger hdd later on So yeaaa it's not just Linux bashing and I did try to stick to the beaten path and installed the two different flavours they said would work. |
You can easily swap those in bios in this and pretty much any laptop.

This is an advertised feature and popular in a few laptop models. https://frame.work/blog/display-and-customizable-bezels For me it's a safety feature where the laptop with something or someone on top will go flat rather than break.
