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.

Battery life has never been an issue for me, I limit the CPU and it holds a charge for at least 8 hours. What is a problem, however, are the speakers. The speakers are very bad—but I will say that the speakers don’t matter much to me. I rarely play stuff out loud, and if I do, I am usually connected to speakers. So, that’s my one criticism really, although it doesn’t impact me much.
