Into the trash.

Buy an ad faggot

disgusting

>>106271068
Correct answer.

>>106271072
>>anon really loves his laptop
Nah, he is insecure about his purchase and goes to /g/ to try to gaslight everyone into agreeing.

it doesn't even have a trackpoint option

>>106271068
16:x is just for movie watching normies. Also that's 4:3, a bit too retro, 3:2 is absolute perfection.

>>106271133
Tranny ratio

>>106270975 (OP)
is the 2nd-gen keyboard even worth upgrading to? I have a launch FW13 and the trackpad isn't nearly as good as the newer revision on my friend's 13.

I just installed a BE200 on my 125H board but I'm thinking about switching to AMD and the BE200 doesn't work on those boards, does the RZ717 module have any issues in linux?

>thinkpad shitters got everything they asked for in a modular consumer-friendly modern laptop that could be done (minus the clit which is trademarked by Lenovo and could not realistically be added to the Framework)
>they spit on it and reject it immediately for Chinovo slop, because... "uhhh I'm a retarded racist, the CEO is Indian" or something?
You can't find a "tech enthusiast" product that is a better representation both of sour grapes and the sunk cost fallacy

>>106271068
3:2 is perfect for a laptop, you want vertical screen space over horizontal.
Retards who still hang on to widescreen laptops are why this abortion exist.

>>106270989
>tfw no 3:2 desktop monitor
why live?

>>106272300
Can't you have both? I mean, loving thinkpads and loving framework, like me?

When are they bring thunderbolt 5, I'm not buying till they have it

>>106272300
Trackpoint is decades old, used by multiple manufacturers. There's no IP limitation. Framework itself said they weren't adding it because they weren't interested.

Given this, there's no reason to use a Framework laptop over even a modern Thinkpad. Realistically, parts availability will be much better for the Thinkpad anyway.

>>106272690
>a modern thinkpad
Yes, modern indeed.

>>106271133
>a bit too retro,
now you're just being pretentious

Just paint it grey and call it joystick.
Whatever patent Lenovo has on trackpoint already long expired anyway.

>>106271111
The trackpoint sucks dick, let's not kid ourselves.
The only reason it was ever a good peripheral was because of how shit touchpads used to be.

On my X230, yes I used the trackpoint and never touched the touchpad.
On my T14 Gen 5, the trackpoint was never used.

Having a haptic touchpad or physical buttons at the top of the touchpad is better than some meme ancient ass peripheral that no one will actually use.

I returned my refurb 7040 and am ordering a new ai 300.

The 2.8k screen isn't worth it imo, the response times are still not good and the rounded corners piss me off.

>>106270989
it's 4:3

>>106272300
i love framework and hate indians

>>106275506
>I returned my refurb 7040 and am ordering a new ai 300.
I’m about to get a 7040 so please tell me why you’ve made this choice. Apparently the graphics on the ai 300’s are downgraded compared to last gen which bothered me.

>>106276479
I made that choice because I didn't like how dirty the refurb unit was.

I also didn't like the rounded corners on the 2.8K LCD, and the response times (ghosting) is bad enough where 120hz is wasted on the panel.
I would rather get the regular 60hz screen.

The graphics don't matter to me, I don't game.

amd cannot into thunderbolt, even if they manage to make one it still will be a single controller with shared bandwidth between all ports

and let me guess anon. the trackpad feels like trash, doesnt it

>>106271111
checked

>>106278134
Isn't thunderbolt proprietary or something?
USB4 has feature parity anyway.

FRAMEWORK SOLDERS RAM ON THE DESKTOP
In case you forgot these asshole arent really right to repair or upgrade.
If they had integrity they would have told AMD to pound sand and get someone else to do it. but when did jeets ever have integrity?

>>106279792
I dunno what Nirav Patel was smoking, but I guess he really like ITX?
It makes zero business sense to sell a niche product on an already niche ITX market just because Lisa Su asked nicely

>decide to impulse buy
>all options with more than 16gb ram have 3 week delivery
>give up, impulse buy thinkpad instead

>>106270975 (OP)
love mine. in fact the first laptop since VAIO went bust that wasn't disappointing

>>106270975 (OP)
I prefer my Macbook, even as Windows user.

>>106279792
>FRAMEWORK SOLDERS RAM ON THE DESKTOP
I thought the ram was part of the SOC?

>>106270975 (OP)
>no touchpad buttons
>aluminium case instead of magnesium

>>106270975 (OP)
Still using my 11th gen intel i7 mobo, probably going to replace it with one of the AMD boards soon. Getting that coolermaster case to replace the 2012 MacMini I run my home plex and file server on. Love the FW.

>>106275484
>he moves his hands off the keyboard when the clit is RIGHT THERE and his thumbs are right next to the mouse buttons
Confirmed retard.

>>106272300
It's a terrible scam product and I'm not paying $1k+ for it.

>>106280399
what did aluminum do to you

>>106280399
fuck magnesium, it always has to be painted so it has terrible longevity
aluminum ages way better

>>106281659
the trackpoint hasn't been updated in decades
it has terrible sensitivity
it's awful for precision

>>106270975 (OP)
overpriced crap i prefer tuxedo computers buddy

>>106283982
actual skill issue

this is an indian laptop.

this is the ceo's mini pc that he made 7 years ago

>>106270985
>>Non standard form factor
the fuck is a standard form factor for a laptop ?

>>106270975 (OP)
they dont ship in my country and even if they did theyre way overpriced for the specs
