I'm not affiliated with Framework. I'm genuinely impressed with the experience overall and wrote an honest unsolicited review. Not everything is perfect though as noted in the article. But, in a world where hardware is dominated by a few, it's a breath of fresh air to see initiatives like the Framework Laptop.

Will update the article and write in more detail about fan noise and heating. But in short:

- Trackpad is decent. However, as some others have mentioned, it can be a bit touchy. It's happened a few times that I'm typing and I accidentally rest part of my right thumb on the trackpad and that changes the insertion point inadvertently. Not a big issue. As a matter of fact, it's more an indication that I need to correct my hands posture for better ergonomics.

- Bluetooth. It's pretty stable. I have a Bluetooth mouse and Galaxy Buds connected and they work flawlessly. I'll try more devices.

(edit: added Galaxy Buds over Bluetooth)

Enabling deep sleep and hibernate solve the issue in this configuration. Once enabled, using systemctl hibernate or suspend-then-hibernate work like a charm. I wrote details here https://luisartola.com/solving-the-framework-laptop-battery-...
