Laptop for Simon #565

@SimonLab please let us know if you want to order the (maxed out) Framework Laptop 🛠️ |
I like the idea of the Framework laptop as it is easy to upgrade or fix on along term (hopefully the company will still be there in 3 years to provide the upgraded parts). I think you saw the "us" version of the site as I can see the British version of the keyboard on the configuration edit page: The maxed out version is however more pricey on the UK site, but I don't think I would need 64Gb of memory or large ssd, so the price could go down to th £2,000 I think. I could still upgrade later on the parts if necessary! |
@SimonLab good call.
It's cheaper to buy the RAM and SSD separately: https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD_BLACK-Internal-Gaming-Technology-Heatsink/dp/B08PMLYV9H You might as well Max both of these so you never have to think about running out of memory or storage. |
Obvs if you prefer to order any of the components from somewhere other than Amazon, please just share links! 👍 |
Thanks again!! |
Yes that's correct |
cool. I will get this ordered as soon as I'm back at my desk. thanks. 👌 |
@SimonLab meanwhile ... your current laptop is slowly dying ... 💻 💀 So while we're patiently waiting for the Framework to arrive ... ⏳ Once your Framework arrives, you can just transfer your work to the Framework (which we all agree is way cooler and has the latest intel chip so will be faster) and you can either bring the |
Thanks, I'll add Ubuntu to it, it should normally work without any issues. |
Sweet @SimonLab thanks. 👍 |
@SimonLab FYI: "Your order will be shipped within the next few business days." We will place the order for the remaining components soon so you can start using the laptop as soon as it arrives. |
The Framework arrived at home this morning! |
@SimonLab fantastic news! 🎉 Looks like eBuyer (very reputable retailer we have bought from in the past) is cheaper than Amazon! Please confirm the two products: RAM: https://www.ebuyer.com/1327274-exdisplay-crucial-32-gb-ddr4-3200-mhz-sodimm-260-pin-1-2-v-cl22-ebr1-ct32g4sfd832a (2 x 32Gb = 64Gb) Please confirm these are correct. Thanks. |
The memories have arrived last week, and I was doing the laptop setup this morning. |
@SimonLab glad you got the Framework Laptop setup! 🎉 Just spent most of the time was waiting on hold hearing the same BS message over-and-over ... @SimonLab what day of the week are you most likely to be home for a collection? 💭 OR do you have access to a printer to print return labels
|
Collection arranged for Wednesday 28th Sep between 08:00 and 21:00 🙄 |
The Parcel has just been collected. |
Glad it was collected. The replacement RAM chip should arrive tomorrow. 🤞 |
But can you run |
@SimonLab how's the Framework been these last couple of months? 💻 💭 |
So far it's good. There are a couple issues but it might be more linked to Ubuntu than the laptop itself. |
Very curious to see if you can run Flutter. 🤞🏼 |
@SimonLab you've had the |
Context
@SimonLab's laptop - that he uses for work-work every day - is falling apart; literally! 💻 💀 💔
As the longest-serving and most valued member of our team, we want to buy him a
new
one.Framework ?
He has mentioned liking the Framework laptop:

Maxing out the config comes to
$2,048
.There is only one keyboard option available right now:
US English
And the Power Adapter is US/Canada ... could be worth researching a compatible UK/EU version.
If I were configuring this for myself these are the Expansion Cards I would chose:
Todo by @SimonLab
Please either:
or If you prefer a different laptop
With shipping and import taxes it will probably come to
$2,500
(£2,000
). So please work with that budget in mind.(please don't be "frugal", this is meant to last you at least 3 years, it's on us and it's yours to keep)
Keen to get this ordered and sent to you ASAP so you can use it!
