The only way Framework is going to match that is if they take charge of the operating system and probably the CPU design too so they can eke out every bit of performance - which is certainly possible these days, a lot of companies are doing exactly that - but I believe it requires billions in investment!
If PC vendors can’t match some important specs from multiple years ago on an Apple laptop, isn’t that kind of a problem?
Sure you can get a faster laptop than an M1. But can you get one that’s faster and silent at all times?
You can get a bigger battery. Or screen or whatever. But all those trade off some other desirable quality.
Has anyone matched the full package? Speed + size + weight + battery life + noise + specs?
Shouldn’t framework be able to match that, especially if you’re willing to give some on the weight or cost? If not, why?
