The main problem with Framework 13 thermals is that if you just put it on top of a bed or sofa, the cloth blocks the bottom ventilation holes and the PC roasts itself with zero airflow. It's fine placed on top of a table, just not on a soft surface. I wish they would fix this glaring issue. Most normies are just going to place their laptops on the couch or bed without thinking about it.

Macbooks have a better design here. They are safe to put on top of sofas and beds. No ventilation holes on the bottom.

Normies don’t buy framework laptops.

Search this thread for the “oh but it’s so expensive, I could just buy a new laptop from any other manufacturer every 3 years and it would be cheaper” posts - those are the normies.

normie absolutely love the expansion io slots.

“wait so i can have TWO ethernet ports???”

i have been responsible for at least three fw16 sales because I got one first, and this was the biggest thing i heard

What would a normie need a second ethernet port for? Even a first ethernet port for that matter
Nah. Normies needing Ethernet ports buy usb c to Ethernet adapters at Walmart or Best Buy.
