I'll give my own n=1 response:

I use Arch Linux for comparison.

The framework is not the best short-term laptop I've ever had, but it's Solid and if the company sticks around should be the best _long-term_ laptop I've ever owned.

- Deep sleep works fine; wake works fine (with a ~10s delay; that's just linux i think)

- Battery is far better than my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen. (have not really tested, but at a guess, solid 6-8 hours; which for linux is solidly average-to-good i think)

- Never freezes

- Fans are fine (way, way better than my 2018 macbook pro...)

- Network is fine (I had issues at first, but was my fault due to faulty systemd configuration)

- Hinges could be tighter, but no issue with practical use (I'm typing on this on my lap right now and it's fine)

- I use it practically every day for hours at a time.

- I've dropped it at least 2 times -- once from ~3-4 feet high (onto carpet). Totally fine functionally; though the monitor back now has a slight protrusion.

    - but hey, it's modular so I can just replace the screen at some point if I really want to (nit: hopefully they'll come out with a matte screen)

Basically the original post here is n=1 so, i mean... the framework is the most exciting laptop "ideology" frankly ever. And even this first 'beta' version is super solid.
