Lots of positive reviews out there for this, though I haven’t tried one.

Super interested in these. I'm waiting for a Ryzen main board and a larger sizes screen before buying.

Might be a bit, but we'll see

Same! The LTT review also mentioned the screen resolution as a problem, so that might be a nice upgrade in the future. FWIW, the rest of the review was really glowing.

I would second this. Framework seems to be intent on creating a laptop that is easy to repair and upgrade. It has some unique features, too, like extension cards. Depending on what one needs it is possible to have, say, 4 USB-A ports or 4 HDMA ones. The only fly in the ointment as I see it is the lack of Coreboot support although they promise to work on it.

Curious if anyone on here has tried if they like it?

Curious what the touch pad is like too.
