@jbqueru Also I hope for #RISCv to be the #ISA of the future for long-term #OpenSourceHardware and support.

#ARM64 - just like #amd64 - is yet another proprietary ISA and almost all devices with it in terms of #Laptops have #AntiRepairDesign like #Apple's #MacBook|s that self-destroy their #SSD|s which also contains it's #EFI / "#BridgeOS", making machines with fried SSDs 'braindead'

And yes, #RAM to also fails and making it not fully replaceable and upgradeable is inherently bad and I'm still mad at @frameworkcomputer for their botched #FrameworkDesktop #PC!

  • Cuz it's neither necessary nor beneficial for a #Desktop PC, unlike with the #Framework12 where the #SoC used only supports single channel and a single SODIMM so it makes sense for them to take that into account.

I've pre-ordered a Framework 12 for my wife, because she's irritated with her MacBook Air almost daily. I'll put Linux Mint on it if she goes through with the order, which will make her life easier (and let her play her Steam games). It might even replace the iPad whose battery is starting to die, depending on how good the FW12's battery is while playing video.

The MacBook Air will basically pay for the Framework 12 when we resell it. 🥳

I mean, I'd not have any issues with a "shitty" #Netbook if it's prized acceptable.

  • And not €220+ for a Laptop with an #Atom #Z8350 & 2GB RAM and a 32GB eMMC that was €199 at lauch 10 years ago and €149 5 years ago.

Cuz then I might be better off buying a used #ThinkPad with #USBc, remove the dead battery and stap a Powerbank to it.

Tho I'd rather start the #NUCbook project instead or buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework12 instead...

I'm really simping over the new #Framework12 Laptop with touch screen & stylus.

Currently I use a X220 with 8 GB RAM and transferring drawings and reference images to me old Microsoft Surface via USB.

The X220 is already failing and tbh I feel like my usual strategy of "waiting til there's a second hand market" won't work with this product.

I sadly have to say, now that its specs, price and preorder are online, there is little going for the #Framework12 - its not as cheap as some might have hoped after all, and its biggest factor is, that it has upgradable ram and higher ram limit than the affordable Lenovo Thinkpad 2in1/Yoga models.

But you still don't get thunderbolt and as we already knew, the CPUs are old ULP Intel cpus.
Not sure I would want that to be my next laptop.

New video of the #Framework12.

I'm super hyped for this thing. If the price is right — and every indication is that it will be — I'm going to be recommending this thing to everyone who asks me for a laptop recommendation for the next several years.

Also, it looks like a future screen upgrade might be possible 👀

💻 #FrameWork12 Laptop a été annoncé cette semaine en même temps que le #Framework Desktop.

Concept reprit à l'entreprise #fairphone 📱 mais appliqué aux ordinateurs portables et maintenant fixe, la question d' "upgradabilité" et réparabilité arrive à grands coups de tambours 🥁 #innovation #ecologie #technology sont donc compatibles et montre un avenir plus responsable 🍃

👉🏻 Que pensez-vous de ces concepts ? Quels sont les points positifs et négatifs que vous entrevoyez ?
