First malfunction on the Framework 16; the 3.5mm audio expansion card. Don't even really use it but started noticing brief lockups which I thought was related to wifi. Checked the logs and USB flapping errors, ordered a new one, submitted a support request and will crack the old one open once the new one is confirmed working. I suspect it's something as simple as a solder defect. The good, I'd need a new mainboard from any other manufacturer, the bad, well, I guess there is no real bad just yet as I wasn't using it but I guess if I had to I'd probably just fix the one I have here. The new one did cost a total of $30.49 USD so there's that and the time lost in ordering and lodging a support case (primarily because I wasn't sure if it was batch related). #framework16

The CPU fan on the #Framework16 is really high pitched. Good thing I'm partially deaf.
In the last ten minutes, I have had to disconnect and reconnect my #Framework16 keyboard four times because of bugs in the keyboard firmware. Now the trackpad stopped working.
Flashing my #Framework16 seems to have significantly improved a lot of the issues I've been having. This was going from the 3.05 BIOS to the 4.03 BIOS. (AMD Ryzen 7040 class machines)
Decided to take it one step further and use the BORE scheduler via the linux-cachyos kernel packaged for Fedora. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bieszczaders/kernel-cachyos. With everything all the way up (screen brightness, no throttling, running prorgams like opensnitch, protonvpn/bridge, localsend, all the things) we are at about 8 hours of total usable battery time. This is a win. #framework16 #FrameworkLaptop
Received my Framework 16, put it together and cloned my encrypted ssd out of my Thinkpad, surprisingly booted right up nary an issue. As in, I didn't have to do much except enter my wifi password. It's early yet so a lot to vet here. Battery life would be exponentially better if we had better userspace libs but getting roughly between 5-6 hours which is enough for the time being as this is more of a desktop replacement.
Fit and finish is pretty good considering it's repairable in lego fashion. Display is good, keyboard is actually really nice, in-fact, I think this might be one of the best laptop keyboards i've ever used. Trackpad is also really good, and comparable to lets say a modern day Macbook. I've read the reviews on the spacers not fitting seamlessly and this is something that could be solved but it would increase the cost of the laptop substantially OR make it bigger. It's already pushing the bounds on the expensive side for the market willing to purchase it. It's not an issue for me at the moment as my hands are in the space of the keyboard.
Otherwise, solid laptop, we'll see in 30 days where I stand. #framework #framework16
The fans in the #Framework16 make a high pitch constant squeal when the CPU is under load. It's rather annoying, especially with my 24/7 tinnitus.
Words cannot describe how much I loathe the #Framework16 keyboard. I might order a smaller laptop, effectively just for ssh, and turn this Framework laptop more into a server.
Hey has anyone tried the framework 12's stylus? is it any good?
And now the touchpad is busted on the #Framework16.

I was proud owner of a #framework16 Laptop. But then something happened.

The next purchase, planned for 1st or 2nd Q26 were the new power supply with 240W and the #framework12 - Sorry, @frameworkcomputer , I'm looking for an alternative.
But maybe I have to put a sticker on my laptop... #FrameworkLaptop #framework
#Framework16 performance issues continued. It took 117 seconds to run git status on the #HardenedBSD ports tree. The screenshots show a VM with 6 vCPU and 32GB vRAM.
For the first couple hours, when the system boots cold, filesystem access is just about as instantaneous as it ought to be. But after around six hours of uptime, the brand spanking new NVMe SSD starts going sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Practically unusable when it gets like this.
You can see in the top output that the CPU is mostly stuck in the kernel.
Something's going wrong again with my storage on the #Framework16. It took two full minutes to perform a git status on my ports tree.
Two minutes for an NVMe SSD to do git status is beyond unusable. It should (and usually does) return in less than five seconds.
This is the second brand spanking new NVMe SSD to become problematic (and/or die) in two months.
So, I guess, @frameworkcomputer will not be seeing any more money from me. I require stability in my hardware and #FrameworkComputer just cannot deliver. Unfortunate that this failure cost a few thousand US dollars--especially on our less-than-shoestring budget.

I have a VERY odd issue with #PrusaSlicer on my #Framework16: I can open it and rotate the viewport and everything, but as soon as I load a STL I can no longer navigate with my mouse or move the object around. Generally it seems the window is only very selectively updating. I have absolutely NO idea what's going on here, googling for prusa hanging yields no meaningful insight. Anybody here has a suggestion for me?
Finally got around to covering the @frameworkcomputer logo on my laptop.
They might be happy to have racists in their "big tent" but I'm not.
I'm on my 3rd #Framework16 keyboard now, the first one stopped recognizing D reliably after I spilled about half a liter of liquid on it, so I bought a replacement, that one however now also stopped registering D reliably, and in this case, no liquids were involved.Got a free replacement from @frameworkcomputer this time, thank you for that, but I'm curious:Anybody else here with a Framework 16 having issues with the D key specifically? I type a lot but I wouldn't say I'm torturing my keyboard 🤔
