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

Comments

I had mine for almost a year now. The laptop is nice, although I had problems with the motherboard twice.

Pros: * super modular, I have 2 usbc and 2 usba usually and the hdmi and ethernet on the backpack for when needed * it's pretty fast in comparison to my carbon x1 from 2021

Cons: * the motherboard died twice and they still don't know why. I suspect the charger as it stops charging after a while, something tells me they haven't fully figured out the motherboard completely yet. * BIOS software is also somewhat lacking still, but this is a well known problem they are hoping to fix with time * Battery life is not really the best, but again I blame it on the BIOS * fingerprint reader just works in Linux, and webcam too which is a difference with Carbon x1

I'm looking forward to future improvements and maybe seeing them enter the mobile phone market.
