Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

Yeah...

Just have to remember that the year comes before the time zone but after the seconds :clown:

No idea where that came from. Probably the time format from the punchcard machine at bell labs.

If it was iso 8601 based, it would almost make sense.

Framework owner, here.

I think this is all totally fair. You are getting less laptop for the same price.

I will put a couple of nits here:

> * No dedicated GPU options, period.

It supports thunderbolt, so you can have an eGPU! That said, while eGPUs are pretty cool, they're expensive an inefficient.

> * Form factor is quite a bit more bulky than its competitors, even considering the fact parts are removable.

I would revise "quite a bit" down to "slightly." The Dell XPS is 15.28 mm thick. The Framework is 15.85mm thick. That's 0.57mm. It is on-par with the slimmer ultrabooks out there. I'm totally happy with the form factor.

Hi, I own a framework laptop.

* The magnetic bezel works great and I've had no problems with it at all. It's completely secure and you pretty much need to lever it off with your fingernail if you want to change it for a different color, or clean around the edge of your screen. The lid spring is slightly wobbly as others have reported, but not too bad.

* It does have thunderbolt and it works great. I've use mine with a Razer core x for gaming without issue. It also works with my Kensington dock.

If you like gaming, a dance pad and Stepmania is a fun, awesome, and cheap way to get some high quality cardio.

Playing on easy modes is like walking. Once you build up some skill, playing on hard modes can feel like sprinting.

No system is powerful enough to prove all of the facts about natural numbers, right?

Excellent! I usually just type up my SQL in triple quotes and execute it from python, which gives me a little bit of templating too. Excited to give this a try (and start using more views.)
