As always, I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has on this!
The 12th gen Intel chips are a huge improvement over previous generations, but my understanding is that AMD chips are of similar performance with better power usage and thermals.
Edit: This may not be true anymore, anyone is free to correct me on this.
Is the difference similar on the framework laptop, and if so, is this a driver problem for the i5 / better under Linux and expected to improve as big.little utilization gets more robust or just a case where race-to-idle really hits? Would love to hear professional input on this since you've probably worked pretty closely with these cpus in the last few months!
I seem to be in the minority of people who think 16" is too big and 13" is too small.
I mean, I could buy the new motherboard and the case of the old one at the same time, it would make sense.
We've also seen some great community developed cases. We can't share any plans around commercial cases of our own, but we'd love to see third party ones come around.
When do you plan on making the 12th gen intel main boards + top cover available for purchase?
Will the main board upgrade bring the 11th gen machine to the same exact spec? Or does the new 12th gen have other improvements?
If you look at the 16" MBP, there's a bunch of empty space, but it still has the tiny arrows. I'm pretty disappointed in how most of the manufacturers followed Apple on this one.
No need for screw-drivers for the basic of replaceable components, ports, etc. It is a genius swappable plug and play modules system and is as simple as plugging in a USB.
I'm looking forward to the next iteration of the Framework Laptop.
When can I get this from a framework laptop?
