I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

    • shits out battery faster in sleep than running
    • probably is self aware of this fact, since it likes to wake itself up and cook itself in my backpack
    • gaping security holes, 12th gen already abandoned in terms of bios updates (read: none)
    • Awful support that reply once every 48 hours, and ask you to repeat things from the last message you sent
    • keyboard scratches the screen
    • loud fans
    • runs hot
    • framework stans are annoying
    • expensive
    • shipping costs take the piss (still)
    • they expect you to buy new shit (so very sustainable) when they ship broken HDMI and DP ports
    • many promises made that were never made good on
