I can’t give you any idea how well it works in practice, because Framework broke the fans on its only GPU module in the United States, Patel admitted to me.
I wonder if they’re lying about this. Maybe the fans are super loud or something and they didn’t want the reporter to know.
We should see soon enough
The company’s PR rep says I’ll get another shot as soon as Framework got a replacement GPU, but they didn’t have time to ship one from Taiwan before opening preorders this week.

That’s far too conspiratorial for me. Loud fans in an engineering sample aren’t a reason to break a fan.
A fast fan blade on a laptop would snap easily if it was handled, which is exactly what would be happening on both a laptop where assembling and disassembling it is a feature and a laptop being actively tested.
If it was a blade that broke, that wouldn’t stop the fan from working, so it was probably the servo, power, or bearings which is exactly what you’d expect to find broken in an engineering sample. Why? Because engineering samples almost always have issues in them. That’s the whole point of the samples, to find out what the issues are so they can be fixed before mass manufacture.
Been waiting for this! I pre-ordered as soon as I saw this Lemmy post.
Which batch did you get? I hear they’re going through them extraordinarily fast.
Batch 4 which ships “late Q4”
