- Framework support video.
FYI, issues with bezel pinching (I worked around it with paper inserts but hoping for a real fix).
Spacer alignment issues. Worked around by bending it but still not perfect (still better) but doesn't lay flat.
Touch pad too easy to physically click. Worked around it with more paper inserts, but would like a real fix.
I'm hoping by now that Framework batches are done so more resources to help with these issues now, as well as parts with better tolerances.
Minor quarks aside.
Given all of your experience now with framework, would you recommend this product to others?
Or would you suggest to hold off and wait ?
Hard to say. If you're a person who likes to tinker, the current state of FW16 is a really fun experience. If you're just looking for a laptop and don't really care about the tinker factor, the price may not be worth it for you since you can get more for less cost. As for whether or not the tolerances got better, won't know until I get the replacement parts.
Looking to see if they will replace bezel, spacers, and touch pad panel to see if the fitment is better.
If you're asking about the FW13, I don't know since I don't have one. However, I'm sure it's much more refined since the chassis been around for 4 generations now. Also it has less panels unlike the FW16 so I'm sure the top deck feels more solid too. Although I must say that the FW 16 feels pretty good for something that's held together by magnets.
