Even just the chasis is super expensive. Hopefully it will get cheaper over time.
I don't blame framework for the high price as I am sure they are getting hurt on sales and margin by the ram prices.

I stopped reading after they mentioned the battery performance was only measured on Windows. This is ridiculous to not measure it on Linux.
I mean, ok. Normally battery is much better on Linux though, or do you need a comparison to previous reviews that did it on Linux?
i'd appreciate that; i'm been staying away from framework because battery life is usually part-to-subpar on most laptops running linux without core/libreboot.
It's 2026, you need to win the lottery to buy a laptop.
Brand new laptops are over-rated anyway. Esspecially on linux you can do 99% of normal use cases on an old second handaptop.
I won't deny that, I'm rocking a ThinkPad T from 2019 which I love. But I'm on the market for a new one just to get back some peace of mind as it may run out of life at this point, and it would be silly not to see the advantages of lunar lake and LPDDR5 for battery life. Only the price be damned.
Beat me to it. I can't wait to get one!
The Frameworks represent the bleeding edge in my mind. The laptop I'd get if I was suddenly wealthy. This one looks cool. New RAM type sounds interesting. Anyone here had experience with it?
