They have good, basic design. They last forever and are easy to repair. They have everything you need, no extras, but nothing lacking.

They’re like the Platonic Ideal of laptops; you open it up and you don’t say “wow”, you say “Well, this sure is a laptop” – but that’s not an insult; that’s what makes them the perfect all purpose general laptop.

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions :)

      The only thing that really keeps me from wanting a Framework 16 is there not being a TrackPoint keyboard available…

        Did I find someone finally using this ? I don’t mean to be rude but I always found that rather silly, I’d be glad to hear how you’re using it though

          I think it’s more accurate and less fatiguing than using the track pad. Scrolling especially feels way better, even compared to two-finger scrolling on a track pad.

        Ah but that’s the beauty of a framework laptop! You can buy one now, and should one be available in the future you’ll (probably) be able to just buy a new keyboard module and slap it in lol
