I don’t really need a gaming laptop so was considering the framework 13. If anyone has any experience with it please share! Bonus points for any details of using Linux on it and/or the AMD version.

    Ive had mine for about 1.5 years. I swapped out the 11th gen i5 for the 12th gen i7 about 6 months ago. Besides that I upgraded the hinges to the 4kg variant.

    I really enjoy it. Super light and portable. I ran fedora on it for a year, ended up moving back to windows due to a software bug that was no fault of the framework itself.

    I do game on it with an eGPU and a 144hz monitor. You definitely lose some performance running your GPU over thunderbolt but it’s good enough me. I’m usually over 60fps on most AAA games on high quality.

    This is my only computer currently and I miss some of the horsepower from having a beefier CPU, so I plan to eventually upgrade to the 16in model once thunderbolt/usb 5 comes to it.
