It’s been six months since I’ve had the Framework laptop, using it as my daily driver. At this point, I’m comfortable enough with it to talk about the pros and cons, for anyone considering a Framework for their next laptop purchase.

Even though I’m no longer a frequent flyer, I am still primarily a laptop user. Pre-pandemic, I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. It’s a nice, lightweight machine has served me well until recently; the trackpad isn’t as responsive as it once was, and some of the keys are showing their wear. For the price, it wasn’t a bad investment to see me through a year and a half.
