I really wanted to get a framework as this new one was announced. But… the glossy screen was a no-go (also the lack of dedicated home/end keys). I went with an x1 carbon gen 9 instead (replacing my thinkpad t440s). Flawless so far with Linux. I’m sure it will last me 5+ years.

Stinks that such little (yet significant) things kept me from the framework!



Tangentially, the non-100% DCI-P3 gamut (or better) display made it a no-go for me. Color gamut and accuracy is a must for any visual or visual-adjacent work.


I do visual work, as well. And I think by the end I just got a little worn out by the overall "which laptop is right for me" research process and said, "well, I'm sure the monitor on this laptop will be much better than my T440s click"
