I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

The hinge that came with the first couple batches of 11th gen is too weak to hold the monitor in place past a certain angle.

speakers are mediocre

the 13.5 could be a tad lighter, like 50-80g - or a lighter version

Chassis is aluminum, it will easily get dents - it looks really nice though - the ThinkPads I had were more resistent to dents due to it (magnesium case?)

Missing OLED option...

Screen is bright don't know what ppl complain ,400nit in an 2140*1800 screen is really good!
