16g of ddr4!!! At this price, wow. I haven't looked at component prices in a while, but that's just insane. I'm glad these projects are launching though! More stuff like this the better.

I am surprised they roll their own distro though.

This is so awesome! With the arm improvements, I truly wonder if sometime in the future, one of my desktop pc builds will be arm architecture and not x86 ...!!! I've had nearly 40 yrs of x86 pcs in my house, wow.

Watch out! Your local congress critters are spitting up again. Someone get them a new rag, maybe a new diapy, and a nap. They're confused as to how anything works anywhere in the earth again. Same as a 1yr old!

Ahhhhhhh yes yet another brain dead impossible to implement "bill" from your local congress critters. WEEEEEE HERE WE GO!

This is sad to see it when EA games just totally give up. I for one don't purchase ea games, so even if I was SUPER into or interested in this game, I never would have bought it, and never will because of this. I guess there's reasons for it, but ... I suppose this is a perfect example of "don't buy ea games yall".

Quoting: kaktuspalmeI wonder how the System76 sales have been going since Framework is in the market. I have the feeling they are taking away a lot of their sales.
I'm in the market soon for a laptop ... currently my m1 macbook pro is showing its 5 yr old age. I'm looking for a 13 / 14 in for portability and all amd for linux support / avoid the disaster that is intel.
No MacBook again? I get using Linux more, but macOS is still great with MacPorts and/or Homebrew.
No real complaints about the macbook other than I want to just not use apple whenever possible. I may still wind up back on a macbook as you say, also just because my phone is ios, so ......... it does work together very well. I only use the ios phone for family reasons, if it weren't for that I'd be on graphene or something similar and a linux laptop as well.

s76 has literally zero options. Nothing. Kind of astonishing. They only have two models of laptops that're under 15 in, and they're intel only. I almost thought about reaching out to their sales support to see if their website just wasn't up to date or whatever, but nah ... I'll just move on. Still, pretty amazing.

I go to framework's site: Right there at the top. 13 in laptop with an amd apu, matte screen, customizable ports, and repairability built in.

It's a no brainer.

^ Agreed. Doesn't make much sense. Cachy handles this so well, exactly as you say.
