“Reviews of the original Framework Laptop 13 were a little skeptical; my colleague Monica repeatedly pointed out that an upgradable laptop’s value “hinges on future support.” But in 2022, her headline was “promises kept.” And this year, as Framework shipped its third set of CPU upgrades for the Framework 13 while simultaneously improving battery life, she called the 2023 revisions “a DIY dream come true.””
I know you’re being sarcastic, but I want to share that my daily machine is a Lenovo P50 with six individual mouse buttons. Six! I use them all, and have remapped the upper left and right click to be back and forward. These navigation buttons work in my browser, file manager, and more.
I would have expected this laptop of all laptops to have options for buttons. I don’t mind the Apple touchpads, but I greatly mind how anti-consumer Apple is and don’t want to fund their lawyers and patents. It seems like every other vendor is attempting to mimic Apple, but are doing a terrible job at it.
Meanwhile i had trackpads with buttons and i dont want them in my life. Get that shit outta here
(So we need both options)
