Which OS?

Sounds driver related. Work have had various issues on Windows with certain ThinkPads due to Teams having some weird interaction with the power management driver.

Teams is somewhat of a resource hog, as the "application" is basically a self contained web browser running the app.

Framework have categorically said they won't offer colours, due to the environmental impact.

For a progress update check the email they sent a couple of weeks ago to everyone that pre-ordered. 😉

Not really. All the CPU cores are identical on the AMD CPUs framework ship.

The AMD chips with X3D and Zen 4c would benefit from the scheduler improvements in Windows 11, as do Intel chips from 12th gen onwards as they have performance and efficiency cores.

SATA M.2 drives are pretty rare being sold new now, you actively need to go hunt them out. All the Crucial P-series are NVMe.

Any benchmark numbers on CAS 40 vs 46?
