Framework Laptop Review

I got the 13.5 inch, 3:2 ratio display (smaller display), laptop from Framework. Through the website, I was able to customize the processor, Wifi card, storage, operating system, and memory. When choosing different operating systems, their are many that can be used for different functions. I used a Linux operating system because it is free and it worked for what I wanted it to. The easiest Linux to install for me was Fedora. Fedora is one a type of Linux operating system better suited for programming. The process took multiple tries with the newer wifi card not being supported by other Linux flavors. Multiple operating systems can be installed, but for school work this one serves its purpose.

The positives of the laptop so far, are the easily changeable ports. If I want an HDMI instead of a DP port I could easily press one button and its changed. The laptop is easily up-gradable and easy to put together. There are QR codes inside next to each component that are easily scannable. The laptop is light weight and has many features that I still have yet to explore.

The main negative of the laptop would be that it doesn’t keep charge very well. This could just be some of my settings for the computer but otherwise the laptop has done what I wanted it to.
