  • 120 hz dynamically allocated, which means when you read text or do office work you save energy on a lower frame rate, and when you need higher frame rates for scrolling, movie or gaming it automatically increases it up to 120 hz. 120 hz on a 4 k display is something you can’t get from other brands. I have to uprade from my Lenovo X1 Carbon and have to buy a complete new Laptop just to get more RAM, but would have to downgrade the display as Lenovo doesn’t offer good display options in their Laptops anymore. I’m not going to sacrifice my eye sight to save Lenovo production costs. Fortunately, there is Framework now with their user orientated approach. And in the future, I won’t have to throw away a perfectly working high quality display and keyboard just to upgrade RAM, CPU, or ports, as all components can be swapped and independently upgraded on a Framework.












  • I don’t get how a software can be in alpha or beta version and by the developers be called ready for production environments. It doesn’t make sense by itself. In some way it’s not an honest way of communication, telling us two contrary things at the same time.

    Alpha versions are actually quite severe. It means that features can be removed or added breaking the whole system. It means not providing an upgrade path for database changes. It means new bugs will be introduced by new features. Beta normally means a feature freeze but still not considered stable enough for production, due to bugs and security issues. RC, a “release candidate” is almost ready but you give it a bit more of testing time to make sure no critical bugs are left. And after that you get the version that is safe for productive use.

    They are far away from a productive version, but telling us to use their development version as such.
