Just got my 13 with the 7840 and I’m realizing that even the integrated GPU is more powerful than the one in my old PC, which has an i7 4790k and a GTX 970.

Is there any reason I shouldn’t just sell that relic and just run the Framework docked at home? I lose a little desk space, but I’m failing to see why I should keep using this desktop.

    As someone whose Framework has been down for 2+ weeks because of a defective fan, slow support, and currently traveling outside the region where I bought the computer (massive issues with getting a replacement part from Framework)… keep a backup machine :D

    If you want to save space, sell off the PC and use the money to buy a used laptop that can get you through Framework downtime. My 5-year-old ThinkPad has been a massive lifesaver!
