Initial Thoughts of the Framework 13

19 Apr 2025 | ~2 minute read

I received my shiny new Framework 13 today, so I wanted to share some of my initial thoughts on the device.

I'm going to keep this deliberately brief as I'm planning to write something more in-depth as I get more time on the device. This is merely a bulleted list of my initial thoughts, having only used it for a few hours.

Some of these opinions will probably change as I use the device more.

Overall I'm happy with my purchase. The Framework 13 doesn't feel as premium as my Macbook, but that doesn't surprise me - very few things do feel premium next to Apple kit.

I'm gonna give Fedora a chance for a few weeks to see if it bakes in, but the multiple niggles are why I left last time - I'm not sure I have the energy to go down the Linux route again. I don't car what anyone says, Linux is not as simple as other operating systems.
