Omg... got to actually TOUCH the new @frameworkcomputer 13 pro.. and y'all.. they NAILED THIS!

[chocolateloverraj@mastodon.social]

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer I can also confirm that the touchpad is very good and the laptop overall feels solid and high quality. I like the color of the keyboard keys. I tested the battery and it went to 3.14W with min brightness, barely any apps open, 60 Hz, Wi-Fi on, and power save on. I think Linux users are gonna be impressed by its battery life.

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer it looks good.

[chocolateloverraj@mastodon.social]

@rl_dane @codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer I did not test much typing on it so idk. I don't think it will be a problem though cuz I haven't experienced any palm rejection problems on modern laptops.

[jfro@social.lol]

@codemonkeymike @rasmus91 @frameworkcomputer they have a 13 upgrade kit listed in the store you can sign up as interested in… imagine it will be pricey tho… I also have a 13

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@rl_dane @chocolateloverraj @frameworkcomputer I have a framework 13 (not this sexy black one) and palm rejection is really good. Just don't like the clicking so use tapping. But if I had the haptic trackpad, I'd def turn off tapping

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@jfro @rasmus91 @frameworkcomputer what's included in the kit? Bacially move your guts over?

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@Threadbane @frameworkcomputer huh? I'm not following

[techwizz@fosstodon.org]

@codemonkeymike It was a fun one to hold! I really like what they did here.

[rasmus91@fosstodon.org]

@falken @codemonkeymike @jfro @frameworkcomputer yeah, but the big new battery isn't backwards compatible, and that battery is part of the allure

In fact I'd almost rather have the new chassis+battery with the old mainboard

[jfro@social.lol]

@codemonkeymike @rasmus91 @frameworkcomputer think it was basically everything but the mainboard but I’d have to check again. Chassis, top, trackpad etc for sure

[jfro@social.lol]

@rasmus91 @falken @codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer think the kit includes that. Basically replacing everything but mainboard it looked.

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer
Saw the framework ad, went to the framework site, found a page that offered Ubuntu and 3 other Linux distributions on their systems. Went through the hassle of picking memory, storage, processor etc, but when I got to the section for choosing an OS my only choices were Micro$haft, ie, Linux is only available on SOME of their systems. On Dell systems you SAVE $500+ with Linux instead of Windows.

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@Threadbane @frameworkcomputer i'm positive you can just order it a DIY and get it with NO OS. That's how I always do it.

I can't imagine any Linux user having an issue with getting a laptop with no OS because most people will install their own anyway

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@Techwizz i know man.. been thinkgin about it ever since lol.. Damn them haha

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@falken @jfro @rasmus91 @frameworkcomputer My son has been dying to get my current Framework 13, so in a moment of weakness I might just order a whole new one and give him this one haha

That's justified, right? right?

[rasmus91@fosstodon.org]

@codemonkeymike @falken @jfro @frameworkcomputer i wish i had that kind of loose change lying around

But yeah, it does indeed!

[joshthetechie@fosstodon.org]

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer That keyboard theme though… it’s beautiful.

[codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org]

@joshthetechie @frameworkcomputer i know i love it.. they had the all black one too.. but i'd want this exact one.

But i'm telling you.. that trackpad is a masterpiece

[joshthetechie@fosstodon.org]

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer I will agree that Apple has made the best trackpad. That one looks VERY nice.

@codemonkeymike @frameworkcomputer
Installed my first Linux, version .98, downloaded to 12 diskettes in 1993. I wrote the Datek CD driver for that pre-release. I have wiped Micro$haft off a few dozen systems I’ve bought over the years, replacing it with Red Hat, Debian, Mint, Free BSD, etc. I’m 83 years old. I thought maybe, just once, I would not have to deal with it, not have to spend hours downloading, verifying, installing…I though for ONCE somebody at framework would spare me that. Wrong.
