Framework Laptop 13 review: a DIY dream come true

Hi, thank you for founding Framework.

Love my 12th gen framework laptop except for an issue with the headphone jack. Waiting on a replacement for that.

I do wish the keyboard was better. See the Thinkpad. Using the function key for terminal paste + home and end forces me to spend a second to think to shift between this and my Thinkpad keyboards. I know you are coming out with magnetic ones-really looking forward to that and hope they match the thinkpad.

Also, the thinkpad keyboards have arrow keys can actually be pressed.

I'd say the up and down keys are the two most used keys on my keyboard.

My 11 year old mechanical keyboard just had its first switch failure a month ago, unsurprisingly on the up arrow key.

If someone releases a proper keyboard module for the framework 16 by mid-december, then I'll be getting a 16', otherwise I'll probably going with a thinkpad.

I have a framework and never even noticed the arrow keys, because I've barely ever pressed them. Reading these comments gives me another reason to be thankful for vim keybindings.
