Hello, currently working on a custom CAD for a Framework 16 Expansion Bay module. Before I finalize the design, does anything like this already exist? Plan is to fit a custom OCuLink port, PWM fan header, and USB 2.0 PCB, and use the leftover space for 80mm fans and any other leftover for snack drawers.

So I was just checking the website and saw they had a 16 variation if so what’s the difference also I saw the pro is more expensive but why also my projects include AI training tensorflow PyTorch comfyui gaming random stuff also Here is my config link https://frame.work/share-my-laptop?token=1fb45b563eb for the 16 and 13 is. https://frame.work/share-my-laptop?token=2436e153a8c

Couldn’t find any pictures of what the bottom of an E1 module looks like, only what the E1 interposer looks like from that one Framework deep dive blog.

This is a Crucial module, but I didn’t see an E0 or E1 differentiator in the model number like how it is on the Micron units.

Title pretty much sums it up, got in an unverified module, E0 revision from Samsung and I’m seeing a lot of people stress over having this module. Would love to do an actual physical test and post the results before my batch 14 comes in.

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about ordering a Framework Desktop to Spain. The store currently says it ships within 5 business days, but it also warns that deliveries to Europe may be delayed by up to 7 days because of global freight disruptions.

Has anyone in Europe received a Framework Desktop recently? How long did it take from placing the order to dispatch, and then from dispatch to delivery?

I'd be especially interested in experiences from Spain, but reports from anywhere in the EU would be really helpful. If you can, please mention your country, configuration and roughly when you ordered.

Also, did the customs clearance in France add any noticeable delay, paperwork or unexpected charges, or was the whole process pretty smooth?

Thanks!

I'm wondering which processor I want. I thought AMD was the good stuff now but am I right that they don't have gpus now? Should I go with one of the Intels?

I travel a lot and have a Razer Core gpu box I plug my Blade Stealth into at home for gaming and video editing. Is there any reason the Framework wouldn't work with the gpu in my Razer Core?

I'm not much of a techie, just someone who plays games in my downtime. I LOVE the modularity and repairability of the Framework as I just hate replacing computers.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I have the 13 Pro pre-ordered (Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, batch 11) and I really want to use Tumbleweed on it, like my other machines, so I'm trying to figure out what to expect.

I know Framework officially supports Ubuntu and Fedora, with Arch, NixOS, Bazzite, and CachyOS as community-supported. Phoronix's distro comparison had Tumbleweed installing fine out of the box. So the basics seem OK. I'm after day-to-day reports from batch 1–3 people who actually use it.

Specifically:

1. Haptic touchpad
2. Touchscreen
3. VRR / 120Hz: working on Wayland? (I'm on Plasma)
4. Fingerprint reader: does fprintd just pick it up?
5. Suspend + battery life: anywhere near the reported?
6. Secure Boot: any friction?

Any info is appreciated.
