Questions regarding Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U (alien.top)

Hi,

I'm looking to switch from my M1 MBP 14inch to a Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U. I'm contemplating about switching because I really like the options of not having to worry about paying a fortune if I break something, and the idea of being able to upgrade the laptop later on is really cool.

I'm a second year student in college studying software engineering, so my usage of the Framework wouldn't be that heavy, just web-browsing, coding & compiling.

How long would the battery last for my usage if anyone has a similar workflow with the Framework?

For anyone that has switched from a Macbook to Framework, is there anything you regret or miss?

The only things that are still holding me back from fully pulling the trigger is the battery life, quality of keyboard and laptop, and 60Hz display, but otherwise I really like the product.

Thanks.

Yeah I really like my macbook and I know it will last for a long time. However, in my situation, my brother wants to upgrade his laptop, and I offered him the deal of giving him my macbook and he'd buy the framework for me. I know that I would be downgrading in term of specs, but being able to not worry about spending a decent amount of money if it gets damaged is really nice, even though it probably won't happen. Regardless, if I decide to get the framework, I think I'll be able to decide whether I want to keep it or not within the return window.
