Framework is killing it and I absolutely love it. I have no need for a laptop right now, but if I ever buy another one, they'll definitely be at the top of my list. The only concern I have is with screen resolution. I'm using a MacBook and the screen resolution is an absolute blessing.

The framework does 2256 x 1504, the 13,3 inch macbook pro does 2560 x 1600. Doesn't seem like that large of a difference, especially at that screen size.

For everybody curious, here is a comparison of the pixel densities:

Framework 13": 200dpi

MacBook Pro 13": 227dpi

MacBook Pro 14": 254dpi

Oh wow, I didn't look at the 14 inch model. 50ppi does sound like a noticeable difference if you're used to it.

same here, I can't justify upgrading for a few more years, but definitely planning on framework for my next laptop, what they're doing is really cool
