Thanks for this video. Can you run some benchmarks so I can learn how fast this laptop performs with handbrake and video editing tasks? As I’m looking for an alternative to my current 2017 MacBook Pro that’s upgradeable, affordable, lighter and high performance. You got a new subscriber :)
Well for the similar price range there are higher performance contemporary laptops. As you may see there is no dedicated gpu yet. But again, this is intended to be upgradable so if the project gets continued support that may be an option. 12th gen will be generally more high performance than shown here. The main benefit with this is the repairability, upgradeability, and the ability to modify with open source hardware with blessings from the devs. All this is at the cost of performance in similar price ranges. (For now)
I would choose the 12th Gen Framework over a MacBook any day & in a heartbeat!! (so imagine if they start offering Ryzen 6000 series!!!) Nice video btw, thanks for sharing your experience with us :) P.S. Lucky you! They still don't ship to my place of residence.
@@IanWootten Thanks for your reply. I noticed that in the marketplace, there is a upgrade kit, with top cover, an improved version of the top cover. The previous top cover is too soft and can be easily bent. Is your top cover the improved version or previous version? Thanks.
Old version. It's able to be bent very easily and wobbles a lot. The marketplace kits will be available once the 12th Gen actually starts shipping (from July) but you can't buy them yet.
@@IanWootten Thanks for your information. I will probably wait for the 12 gen version. But needs much patient, LOL. Looking forward for more of your videos.
Awful video you spent 10 times the amount of time explaining what a framework is instead of just how to set it up. I just bought one. I need a little bit of guidance and you're trying to sell it to me. I already bought one
I'm loving this concept, can't wait for pre-orders to open up in Australia. The captive screws are a nice touch as I'm *terrible* with screws!
Loving this, put in my preorder for the ryzen 5 model a couple days ago and keep watching this style of video because I can't wait :D
Interesting, I’m reaching what I may want to put together.

They offered amd cpus.
@@amirmousawi9156 Yes, but they don’t ship to my country of residence 😓
@@ZakiQutteineh where are you from?
13th gen:
If they built up an ARM based Framework Laptop, I would buy that in a heartbeat.
A much better laptop than the macbook!
Now I see why you returned your macbook
Partly - I thought that my pre-order would take a while to ship, but it ended up being much quicker!
He chose a product from one of the most ethical company on Earth against a product of one of the most evil company on Earth. I respect him for that.
Thanks for the amazing video
is it intel 12 gen version?
Nope, they were announced shortly after I made this!

Looks like even more e-waste. Like you are gonna keep the same laptop case and screen for more than 5 years. Thats seeems pretty unrealistic.
For a screen maybe, but I can't see a case design advancing so much in 5 years that I'd want to replace it.
The screen is also replaceable
