I hear these suck. No battery life and bad cooling.

[–] piranhaphish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if this was true at some point, but this is definitely a false statement today.

I have a Framework 16 w/o dGPU and it is perfect. It has long battery life, awesome performance, and has no thermal issues at all. Then there's all the features which I don't think I need to get into here. But I will call out support for lvfs/fwupdmgr; it's great and in line with what I have seen with Dell and Lenovo.

This is my forever laptop

They have their shortcomings but it's all worth it to have pro-sumer hardware, in my opinion. I just can't bear to give my money to consumer-hostile companies anymore.

True, that’s why I mostly buy used. I can’t see myself buying any electronic new except for important main computer or server parts

Buying used is not as bad but still supports the resale value of consumer-hostile devices, which indirectly supports their new value.

I buy from a local electronic recycler, I highly doubt there is any downside from them saving stuff from being thrown away
