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.

Jump in both feet first. You wont regret ditching apple! The first thing you accidently break, you can probably replace yourself for around £10 (if you break a port). I have a HP EliteBook 840 G9 for my business and a Framework 13 Ryzen 7 for my personal device. Broke a port on my HP, £250 repair.

Wife has a MacBook, wifi failed, cant be replaced. That was over £2,300 just over 22 months ago. I just dont know why people choose Macs anymore - apart from the speakers which people keep telling me ;)
