If so how long? I’d like one, but can’t wait forever.
I wouldn’t recommend going framework at all honestly. All usb functionality stopped working on mine for no reason and after a lengthy chat with customer support they just told me to buy a new mainboard. I was outside of warranty but the issue seemed like a hardware failure at no fault of my own and the warranty window is pretty short.
Thanks - that’s helpful. What’s your go-to for a linux laptop that has the build quality of Apple?
I don’t really have a recommendation at the moment, currently using a lenovo 2 in 1 and I’ve had a good experience with running Linux on it. The build quality is also quite good, such as being a full metal shell.
So your complaint is that your warranty expired and they had parts you could buy to repair it?
It’s nice that it can be repaired and I really respect what the company is trying to do which is why I bought one in the first place. My complaint is just that it experienced random hardware failure that renders it unusable just outside of warranty and the only option that was offered is buying an expensive new mainboard.
He also mentionned that their warranty is pretty short.
I understood the message like he was complaining that everything is falling down just after warranty, which is not what you would expect from Framework.
Maybe I don’t understand, but I see it in stock and I was able to add it to my cart. Are you outside the US?
Oh - yes - sorry - I’m not interested in the AI series. Should have said that.
I see. I suspect that the Ultra Series 1 model is being treated as a previous-generation product and won’t get restocked, but I could be wrong. I think if you really want, you can make an Ultra Series 1 laptop from parts. They have the chassis and the two higher end Ultra Series 1 mainboards in stock. Though at the price you might prefer to just pre-order the 13 pro.
I wish I could say “same here”, but the prices are quite different 😥️
They don’t provide any useful info.
