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.

Probably the touchpad and the display. Both are kinda average, so at this price probably below average. Also the edges for me on the front are a bit sharp where the keyboard and the case meet. Sometimes the speakers will buzz my esc key.

The fan curve isn't optimized for the AMD, but that's software.

Little things, but batch 1 and don't regret it yet if that helps lol
