I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

    No high refresh rate screen option.

    Intel based battery life is underwhelming

    I would like to see a MagSafe like dedicated charging port not thing up the I/O

    The fan curve is beyond obnoxious I would just prefer throttling then the machine sounding like a 20 year old think-pad with half a cat stuck in it.

    It’s pretty heavy for a 13 inch laptop.

    Top panel feels kinda of flimsy.

    I get really weird keyboard lockout issues to where I have to pull the expansion ports out to fix it.

    Doesn’t support windows hello.

      A magsafe is withing reach if you are willing to DIY. There are suitable ones on ali and with a small 3d-printed collar it even looks sturdy.

      For anything else I think apple still has the patent for that for a few years so it will be a while until we see that feature generally in laptops.
