I'm excited for their improvements. It's got to be incredibly hard to start a company that does what they do. Not the repairability part, but anything with modern hardware, firmware, and software.

When I think of the other big names, they've all been around for quite some times and they were already established companies. I'm not excusing Framework, but I am excited for their future. My Framework 13 AMD has been running great for the last 6ish months. I've had a big where the screen won't come back on after a charged sleep twice now, but it's been a minute since that happened.

I have had to RMA my entire AMD laptop due to a BSOD issue, that lives on in the replacement device. It isn't a DIY config, using their charger, etc. I am 70% sure it's firmware, but no matter what the root cause is, I have little faith that the problem can be resolved due to lack of transparency or knowledge of the root cause.

Edit: I think this is why Dell/Apple end up winning in the end. Stability in a computer is critical.

We've found and resolved this issue. We'll be promoting the BIOS update that resolves it to stable later today, but you can pick up the release (3.05) early here: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-13-ryzen-704...
Oh thank god! Deploying it now. (Assuming you are referring to https://community.frame.work/t/random-hard-freezes-fw13-amd7... )
Thanks for the trust and the belief, and we know that we need to prove it and live up to it by actually delivering on the results of product longevity.
Big thanks to you and the entire Framework team. The work y'all are doing is incredible. I'm a very happy customer and I'm excited to see how Framework grows and I'm excited to continue to be a customer!
