How many times have you gone to the DIY page and customized a Framework 16? : framework

It's pricey inside the US also.

My laptop actually just died yesterday. But if I wanted one of these I'd be paying out the ass and going without a laptop for several months.

I don't believe in pre-ordering, so I bought a framework from the ships immediately pile. I was in your situation, my last laptop had died and i needed a new one. I just speced out "good enough", and ordered. I'm still quite happy with my framework 13.

Gonna see if I can't get mine fixed first. If not I'll have to bite the >$1k bullet.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 0 points 2 years ago

The framework 13 is shipping today, you can buy the base configuration for 850 USD and then upgrade later. just a option

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

It's literally not usable in the $850 config

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Also apart from the expansion cards, the ram and SSD are quite cheaper to get elsewhere, especially if you can reuse your old laptop's. So it's still possible to get a sub 1k config.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

My old laptop is DDR4. I Guess I can reuse the SSD so that'll save me $50...

Get one second hand

[-] atocci@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

Haha you've got me there, I've done it maybe 3 times now. I keep saying it's definitely going to be my next laptop, but I can't justify it quite yet.

[-] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I CAN justify it... But still myself needing something that they don't just offer which takes them out of the running unfortunately. And yes, I load up the DIY tool just to make sure it's not there yet every time someone in my house needs a new laptop.

going to now

[-] toastal@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I’ll check once a year to see if they finally added a decent OLED display option with 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Since that has never come true, I never bothered going any further.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Are there any good OLED laptops on the market? I just checked the Framework forums and it looks like people are hacking OLED displays into their existing laptops but yea, that's definitely not for me

[-] toastal@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Lots of them actually. It’s not that niche anymore. In my experience, ASUS generally has the nicest ones… & they offer OLED on even midrange laptops (good marketing idea IMO since it’s gonna look nice in a show room & it’s just looks nice so it feels nicer). The BIOS upgrades with them has always been safe & easy, but their Linux support is just mid (they don’t go out of their way to help support or anything).

[-] Safeguard@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Too many times to admit. I even had a order in but cancelled. I just can't excuse myself that kind of money.

And I'm a freelance IT dude!

[-] Darkbug@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Probably a dozen times before I pulled the trigger.

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 3 points 2 years ago

Twice - One time to get a quote, the second time for the actual order when i was ready.

[-] Mosfar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

About a dozen times, to daydream and check if it’s available on my country. My laptop is on its last days

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just did for the first time and I’m not sure what I was expecting, but kinda spendy. A good UI for designing it though.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Coolest non-Apple laptop on the market. Want to buy, but it'd get no use after the first week. Jealous of Linux users who get to justify these.

[-] onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've gone about 15+ times on my own, a lot more just to show friends. I still haven't bought mine, my thinkpad still works fine which is both good and bad since I really want a frame.work

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

About 5 times before I finally ordered

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 1 year ago

Once, just because I couldn't fucking believe there really is no ortho keyboard option.
