The battery life is what keeps me going back to my MacBook Pro every time I try to switch to a Linux laptop.

From what I understand, almost all linux problems in this area are firmware/driver shortcoming. So, in theory, could the Framework laptop rival Apple?

They are built from the ground up to run Linux so I assume they have access to the firmware or at least can request features from vendors?

I would like to move off iPhone also but there is no viable alternative that isn’t worse.

> If someone makes one of these in a nice 16” form factor, OLED screen, aluminium unibody, no stupid branding everywhere, I think it might be time for a lot of developers to switch.

Since 2006 I’ve been on this same mission. Let us know when you’ve figured it out.
