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.
The framework 13 is shipping today, you can buy the base configuration for 850 USD and then upgrade later. just a option
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.
Get one second hand
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.
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
Probably a dozen times before I pulled the trigger.
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.
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
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).
Twice - One time to get a quote, the second time for the actual order when i was ready.
About a dozen times, to daydream and check if it’s available on my country. My laptop is on its last days
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.
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.
Once, just because I couldn't fucking believe there really is no ortho keyboard option.
About 5 times before I finally ordered
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
