Can Linux read the fan sensors of that Framework machine? It was very long time ago since I had a motherboard that gave fan speed in GKrellm and sensors scripts.
Would love to know your thoughts on battery life (especially since AMD has a big power drain during video playback). How much are you getting out of it? If it's comparable to the 8 hours I get on my 3,5 year old Lenovo yoga slim then the FW13 is definitely my next laptop.
I end up using mine almost entirely plugged in but there is a great thread with a bunch of different operating systems and real world results on the Framework forums: community.frame.work/t/real-world-battery-life-experience-fw13-amd/39112/46
I think i'd like to see yet another generation of this but with screws securing things together because I hate the idea of parts being so easy to steal... i keep my laptop at work secure with kensington lock when I'm away from lunch or a fire drill forces me to leave my hardware unattended... anyone can enter the building when I'm away so I just like to know my hardware is secure... but I guess its a great laptop for secure locations.
Just wanted to double down on other comments and see if you could give us more details on the battery life and how this laptop compares to something like the Lemur Pro. Thanks.
Hey, iam currently running a Mac book M1 Max for my Computer Science Studies and I'm thinking of buying a framework amd version to use linux/windows. Do you think It will be a massiv downgrade? or will it serve me well? Are you still happy with it?
Is there software that you need Linux/Windows for? If so and virtual machines aren't working for you, then I'm guessing the framework will be good (haven't bought one yet) But if you can, might want to look into a software solution first. (Coming from a guy that has collected way too many computers over the years, looking to sell/donate and consolidate to 2 desktops and a framework laptop.)
Whoa, 29 likes on the video already! This was a nice show, more on the install part, less on benchmarks and tests. I can't wait for Framework to ship with Intel's 15 gen. Both Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. I hope Framework will have at least one of them in their models. I can see that they skipped Meteor Lake (aka 14th gen). For me, ideally, I'd have an 18" desktop replacement. With 4 sticks of RAM, hopefully running at 6000 MT/s, but for 128 GB it seems that not even desktop computers can have that. DDR5 is weird. Anyway, I can't wait to see more stuff from Framework. Their Framework 16 seems like it's strunggling a bit, having only AMD option and being quite expensive. But they showed with Framework 13 that they deliver on their promises.
