System76 or Framework laptop?
System76 or Framework laptop?
Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.
But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn't going to go under anytime soon.
I'm debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?
You're viewing a single thread.
I want to be able to swap out parts, or repair the laptop when something breaks. For that it seems like Framework would be the best.
I've been trying to convince my partner that we need to buy one. My only problem is that I have a perfectly good desktop, and don't need a laptop.Virgo by System 76 is already designed for board-level repairs. All the schematics is already available, and will be found on their website when ready for production:

Actually Soller said, that they will release everything needed to start your own production line. Has Framework released the schematics yet?
Yeah there are schematics from framework, I don't think they are full though. But last thing I heard was from a while ago, so they may be more complete nowadays.
Here is an old video of Rossman talking about it https://youtu.be/8cJj8PUY0DU

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I didn't know that. Perhaps I need to research a little more before commenting.
Thanks!
Not only that, they support the right to repair and offer replacement parts on ALL of S76's laptops
