I’ve just ordered a Framework 13 at work to test out and I was wondering if anyone else had any experience using Framework in a business?

    I’ve had my Framework for 2.5 years. It’s been in daily use for both work and personal, probably averaging 12 hours a day.

    It’s going to be by far the easiest laptop to have repaired, and upgrading is also going to be way easier (and cheaper) than replacing them in the future.

    On top of mainboard/CPU, ram, and storage upgrades, you can even upgrade components like the monitor, speakers, battery, etc., which is unheard of with most brands.

    I can’t think of a better laptop to have in a business, or as a personal daily driver.

    My work laptop is a framework.

    What exactly do you expect to be different in a framework compared to other laptops?

    Biggest difference would be that they don’t offer bulk discounts or SLA contracts, which is something big companies want

      I expect a laptop that will last for many years, with easily replaceable and upgradable parts. Currently we have issues with the USB-c ports on our Lenovo laptops. It doesn’t seem to handle being constantly used. On a Framework, that’s really easy to replace.

      We are a small company. Only at around 50 people.

    We’ve got about a dozen of them now. Exactly as advertised, no problems other than a slightly longer lead time to begin with. Just laptops that can be upgraded.

    use a 12th gen for work, take an AMD one for better battery life. Also put a charge limiter if you’re going to work mostly plugged.
