  • It’s v1 from a relatively new company, trying something unprecedented. I’m not surprised it has some major flaws. The first Gen framework 13 did as well.

    I own a Gen2 and a Gen3 framework 13 and they are both phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a slim laptop, that wasn’t overly concerned about cost.

    I’m sure the Gen3 FW16s will be great as well, but it’s going to be a bit before I would recommend them to anyone.

    What I think would be great for framework to do next is to design a purpose built eGPU for the framework 13. I would really enjoy something that would turn the FW13 into a decent gaming PC, while still retaining the portability for travel.














  • Skeptical of this, while the dovetail is a good joint in woodworking, it’s not really the best joint for most applications. Even drawer boxes.
    Modern glues are so good, that just a normal box joint or even a rabbit joint is actually stronger when properly made.

    While you can control the layer lines and orientation to some degree, I’m thinking that a dovetail, in real designs, would be extremely hard to implement. Peg and hole with CA glue is most likely better when splitting parts that are too big for a bed.
