Oh thanks for the reminder. I got a framework - i7 and 32gb RAM. Happened to have a spare Samsung 1TB SSD sitting around the office that hadn't fit the desktop it was bought for so popped that in.
Putting it together was easy enough and the instructions+comments were really helpful. Only minor thing was that I bought an ethernet port which sticks out from the side a bit so I am going to get a USB C for that spot and just carry the eithernet port for when I need it.
I am loving it. The screen ratio (it's 3:2) took a minute to get used to after having a widescreen but I really like it now. Perfect for two windows side by side when programming. I have a separate widescreen display if I really need it. And the screen is a bit matte and quiet easy to look at for long periods of time. Keyboard is nice.
I set it up with Ubuntu 22.04 and the cool thing there is that the framework website has post install instructions for supported distros that take care of some little tweaks and things. That was great and saved some time.
Basically I am very happy with it.
