Have you tried it much without the GPU? I imagine that would cut down battery usage by a lot right?
Camera mic and speakers are not a deal-breaker especially as they're upgradable from what I understand

How long would you say a charge normally lasts, apologies for the profiling but I'm assuming you tend to work at a terminal more if on arch rather than loads of heavy electron apps?
Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, have you got in touch with them about it?
I don't really care about usb transfer speeds, that random disconnecting sounds like an issue though.
What's foundry?
Also, so using the thing normally the fans don't spin up a lot? How about if doing a build or something else that uses 100% CPU?
Is the 16 the one with the GPU slot? Thinking of getting that one myself at some point possibly without the GPU to begin with to save a bit of money then upgrade if I need it
I think you should try a full reinstall it sounds like something's just borked in the install, otherwise get in contact with them and get a refund/send it in for them to look at it that's what supported means
Also Ubuntu is kinda overrated nowadays anyway, you should absolutely try something else before giving up on it.
Gonna get hate for saying this but if you don't want to tinker and you just want a working machine you should probably just put windows on it, at the very least if it still doesn't work then you know it's 100% a hardware issue and can get in contact with framework
Self managed Linux is not a good plan for people who have zero interest in having to fix anything themselves
How's the fan noise? I've got quite accustomed to silent fans on my current laptop
I'm a big fan of being able to fix stuff myself, XPSes I've heard are very good but I also like the idea of being able to just upgrade the CPU GPU and memory later on when it starts to slow down and not have to buy a whole new laptop
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Fantastic, no issues with sleep or anything? Everyone else seems to say the sleep mode battery drain is huge
(planning to do sleep then hibernate anyway, or maybe just hibernate and not even bother with sleep)
Seems to be a pretty common complaint, you'd hope they would've fixed that given how many people seem to be having that issue
What exactly is a CMOS battery?
