I got my 13 a few months ago and it kind of sucks if I waited I could have gotten the 13 pro instead. However I won’t throw it all away or sell it to buy the pro even though I could. I’m planning on upgrading one part a year (or whenever they break), starting with the keyboard cover, to get to the pro. What are your plans?
Been rocking a FW12 with no plans to upgrade or replace any time soon. It’s perfect for meetings and travel. Though this thread is probably asking folks that use the 13 as a daily driver.
I did just order a FW desktop to replace an old custom build, because desktop is my daily driver.
My 13 is a couple of years old now, but it’s still trucking along just fine. My top three complaints were battery life, the trackpad, and sub optimal speakers - all addressed with the bottom chassis kit. When the battery needs replacing or when the trackpad holding bracket bends/deforms again - I’ll buy the bottom kit and move everything into that. Then someday I’ll go for a new monitor and main board etc. But not now.
I’ve had my 13 for a while and have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. Out of curiosity what don’t you like about yours?
I want to learn German and am currently on the brittish tyoecover so I figured I’d upgrade to the german one. I also just want the best and coolest laptop but I’ll do it patiently in an eco-friendly way
Maybe when they stop funneling money to fascists under the guise of big tent
Is there a alternative that does have negative reputation that has similar views on right to repair and interchangeability and upgradability if components? I’m needing on that I can upgrade and repair on my own because I’m a poor American with little to no options.
Please elaborate?
They’ve funded DHH, a
BritishDanish white supremacist, creator of ruby on rails and omarchy. They gave material support (hardware) to him and their argument was basically that it didn’t go directly to him but to an organization he was a part of - they obscured this on the sponsorships page and idt omarchy’s sponsorship was ever even addedNow it turns out they give money to a conference he made because he got banned from the original ruby on rails community for causing problems there
They couldn’t even come out and say that they dont hold those views, threw a hissy fit on social media and then slightly adjusted their sponsorships page

What they should have said:
- We dont hold those kinds of views
- Anyone who is intolerant of others is not welcome
- We will not support this person or their projects financially due to their controversial views
- We will be more careful about selecting sponsorships in the future
They didnt do any of those 4 (maybe the 4th?)
I see how that is upsetting. Let’s hope they get better since I really like the company.
Framework seem happy to invest in the Omarchy and Hyprland projects. Omarchy is run by someone who pushes fascist agendas such as white nationalism, transphobia and eugenics. Hyprland is run by a developer who has been banned from freedesktop.org for failing to moderate the Hyprland community Discord and prevent abuse from there.
Edit: I corrected misinformation stating the maintainer of Hyprland pushes fascist talking points. I don’t have evidence of that.
I have mine for 2 years now
No need to upgrade any time.
My 13 is less than a year old, so I don’t need to upgrade anything. But that sweet haptic trackpad is very tempting.
I guess I’ll upgrade the bottom chassis when my battery dies in a few years.
