I have a first-gen Framework with i5-1135G7. Using it right now.

Pros

  - Keyboard and trackpad are nice IMO.
  - The display is 3:2 and overall decent, but see below.
  - Fully supported on Ubuntu, including the fingerprint reader.
  - I have a USB-A and USB-C on each side, which is exactly what I want.
  - Upgrades are available (but see below)
  - Resale value is surprisingly high[1]

  - Fans are annoyingly loud when they spin up, which they do when e.g. playing Factorio.
  - The 2.2K display requires non-integer scaling; 3k @ 2x scaling is much crisper.
  - Plastic cases are common on ~$700 budget laptops not >$1k ones, cheapening the laptop.
  - Sleep tends to drain the battery, but I re-configured my laptop to use hibernate anyway.

Overall, when I just want to surf the web, I prefer my old laptop, a Huawei Matebook with 8th Intel, mostly because it has a nicer screen (3k 3:2) but partially because the sleeker metal chassis is nicer. When I need portable performance, I pull out the Framework, but the fans get noisy when it's going full blast.

I'd like to upgrade it to an AMD 7000 motherboard + 3k screen, but it comes out to $735:

  $420 7640U Mainboard
  $ 45 2x8GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM
  $270 2.8K Display
