Indeed, different price point though, but shouldn’t be more expensive in the long run. I like what they’re doing and live my AMD 13

You’re welcome!
I’m pretty certain you won’t regret it!
The 16 inch model can have a GPU module installed indeed, which makes it slightly longer and heavier of course. Framework plans on releasing newer GPUs in the future, but can’t guarantee it, as it also depends on the GPU manufacturers.
Let’s hope they will be able to also provide GPU updates, which would truly make it fully upgradeable machine.
The Framework laptops can be easily upgraded and/or repaired by just about anybody who can watch a YouTube video. It is indeed possible to buy a base model and then upgrade it later.
Keep in mind however that you can’t just replace the CPU, but you have to replace the whole mainboard. Other components can be swapped at will, like RAM, SSD, Display, camera and microphone module, hinges, … Then of course there are the modules that you can easily swap without even opening the laptop, and can give you different ports, card readers, storage or custom modules (diy projects for example).
The build quality is quite solid on my FW13, the keyboard is decent and the trackpad is quite good. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one if the need arises…
I don’t remember it being that bad on my 1070 mobile laptop (8th gen Intel i5 H if I’m not mistaken), but it was sub 25 fps also. On my PC it ran better, but after upgrading to a 3080 with a 5800X3D was when it ran smoothly at higher resolutions, although the game also had received some updates by then.
I had some cars that were following an invisible road above where the real road was a few times, and although that broke immersion a bit, I also still had a lot of fun with the game.
You’re certainly right about that!
Honestly though, I believe the early issues with the game were mostly on consoles. On a decently specced PC, the game would run nicely right after launch, with some bugs, but nothing game breaking. I got it right after launch day and enjoyed myself quite a bit with it. The police and the way the cars drove were the things that bothered me the most.
Understandable. Good luck hunting for drives!
I got one or 2 4 TB drives (Seagate IronWolf). If you’re interested in 5-6 year old NAS drives that got replaced with larger capacity ones, send me a message and I’ll send you the smart data. I wasn’t planning on selling them, but they’re not being used anymore so I might just as well.
One hour of 360 video is roughly 60GB. Process that video and export it and you get a lot of data as well. I would not call it being super heavy on video to have one hour of source material on your phone, which you could not do right now.
360 photos are roughly 150MB each.
Storage is cheap, but sold at a very high mark-up.
At least unsolicited duck pics aren’t very likely to get you on some list 😅
Rancid fish oil, you said?
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down for this exact answer. We did the same thing and they enjoyed it nonetheless.
If that happened in Europe, that’s illegal. The warranty period is suspended while your product is away for warranty repairs. Little side note, that only applies to the legal 2 year warranty protection, which is between the buyer and the seller (which is often not the manufacturer).
Sorry, I somehow failed to notice the [she/her]. Didn’t mean to offend.
I guess that would also be a legitimate concern, as the steps are rather short. It would look a bit less sleek with longer steps, but making the steps longer while keeping the supports narrow would still look good in my opinion.
Perfect stairs to your man cave 🙂
Of course the metal can support a person. It’s not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.
The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.
I’m quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can’t judge from a picture.
Probably because he rides a bike
