Comment on Ask HN: Does the Framework laptop stand the test of time?

Comments

I ultimately sold mine (launch model). The hardware was....fine. Battery life on Linux was disappointing, battery life on Windows was tolerable but less than a Surface device. I missed having a touchscreen though that wasn't a dealbreaker.

No one thing was the breaking point, I just found myself reaching for my other laptops more as they would more reliably have power after sitting for a while.

If I wanted a Linux device I would give it a look today, but its battery life and general UX are significantly behind a Surface Laptop or Macbook Air/Pro, so no, I wouldn't buy one as my sole laptop.
