For those waiting for the reviews to come out before pre-ordering, how many times have you custimized a machine? I’m referring to this page here. I think I’m on like 12, maybe more 😝. It’s too much fun to customize something, pick out all the specs I want, and then close the page. One day I’ll press order, but not yet. Patience is virtue…

    Haha you’ve got me there, I’ve done it maybe 3 times now. I keep saying it’s definitely going to be my next laptop, but I can’t justify it quite yet.

      I CAN justify it… But still myself needing something that they don’t just offer which takes them out of the running unfortunately. And yes, I load up the DIY tool just to make sure it’s not there yet every time someone in my house needs a new laptop.

    Too many times to admit. I even had a order in but cancelled. I just can’t excuse myself that kind of money.

    And I’m a freelance IT dude!

    I’ll check once a year to see if they finally added a decent OLED display option with 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Since that has never come true, I never bothered going any further.

      Are there any good OLED laptops on the market? I just checked the Framework forums and it looks like people are hacking OLED displays into their existing laptops but yea, that’s definitely not for me

        Lots of them actually. It’s not that niche anymore. In my experience, ASUS generally has the nicest ones… & they offer OLED on even midrange laptops (good marketing idea IMO since it’s gonna look nice in a show room & it’s just looks nice so it feels nicer). The BIOS upgrades with them has always been safe & easy, but their Linux support is just mid (they don’t go out of their way to help support or anything).

    About a dozen times, to daydream and check if it’s available on my country. My laptop is on its last days

    Coolest non-Apple laptop on the market. Want to buy, but it’d get no use after the first week. Jealous of Linux users who get to justify these.

    I’ve gone about 15+ times on my own, a lot more just to show friends. I still haven’t bought mine, my thinkpad still works fine which is both good and bad since I really want a frame.work

    I just did for the first time and I’m not sure what I was expecting, but kinda spendy. A good UI for designing it though.
