Honestly, if it weren't for the memory crisis making every computer a difficult buy, I would probably switch to the Framework 12. My current laptop is a 13th gen Intel and the battery has degraded by a lot, so having the new chip bump with the better power efficiency would be nice for battery life. It would be far more repairable as well than my current machine, an Asus which unfortunately has soldered memory and a nightmare to take open. I also much prefer a fingerprint sensor over facial recognition. I have no qualms about the plastic fantastic of the FW12, more fun colours is awesome, and it looks very sturdy and durable from what I can. And just like my old machine, it would still be a convertible with a stylus and backlit keyboard!

The only thing I'm worried about is the display quality, as my current laptop has an OLED display with really good colours, so going to the FW12 would be a pretty big downgrade. Hopefully they are able to fix that sometime in the future once the memory crisis is over, since that is definitely the main gripe of most customers (they highlighted it in their video too as the most common complaint!)
