Apparently there was a batch of laptops/mainboards that had this problem and I got really unlucky to get both from that batch

Oh I see. Do you have any recommendations of your own then?

Thank you for the recommendation I’ll look into it

Thank you for the detailed response. it seems like a good choice for me and it’ll probably be the one I end up buying. Do you think macbook airs are better or pros? Also is there a noticeable difference for M1 and m2? Im not sure which model to buy

So I ordered the DIY edition and when it arrived the screw to input the SSD was stripped and wouldn’t budge. I emailed their support and they said they would replace the motherboard, and when that arrived it had the exact same stripped screw. I told them about it and they said to ship to their repair center so I did. I didnt receive further details about it for a week so I just decided to refund because it had already been more than a month since i first got it. Of course I could’ve waited a few more weeks for it but I urgently need a laptop now and don’t think I could have waited that long.

Hi thanks for the questions. I plan to just generally use for browsing the web, watching YouTube and of course Lemmy lol. I’d also like to use it for school work and coding. I was hoping to play some games on it yes. The screen should be around 13" as I’ll be carrying it out a lot and need it to be portable. Above that its too big for me. I’d like a pretty good battery life around 7+ hour, enough to last an average day of use. No preferences on operating systems but I’ve only ever used windows and a tiny bit of Linux.

Thanks for the link, I’m looking at the macbooks right now. Do you own one yourself?

Do you have any specific one in mind?

I would just be doing general use and for my studies. I was considering playing some games on it, like Escape from tarkov and games like that. Why do macs not work well for gaming? Also do you have a recommendation for what type of mac to get?

I recently ordered one and had some issues with it so I returned it. Would prefer one from another brand as I did not have a good experience with Framework.

You doing ok op?

Are you on the alpha release channel? Its only on that so far. In a few days it’ll go to beta, then stable.
