      I’ve had a 12 for a few months now and its a nice low powered, low weight, light use travel machine. Runs pretty nice with kubuntu on it.Generally all around fine though not spectacular a very 5-6/10 machine though that’s all I really need from it. Very expensive for what it is though.

      My only problems with the Framework 13 are:

      • the 3:2 aspect ratio is really nice on the host, but getting VMs to display correctly is hard
      • The magnetic bezel is too much fun to play with. I grab at it while thinking, and have broken the plastic from taking it off and on thousands of times
      • The interchangeable USB ports don’t lock well on the 13. If the HDMI cable is tight, I pull the whole adapter out. (I believe they changed the locking mechanism on the 16)
      • The hinges for the display aren’t that strong, even the new ones. They’re acceptable, but moving the laptop w/ it at certain angles, it will fall open to 180°

      It’s still my favorite laptop I’ve owned
