An unofficial community of enthusiasts and fans of the Framework hardware company, known for its modular laptops and other products.
I've had a Framework 13 for coming up on 5 years now, and I've only had to replace the screen once: I over stuffed a laptop bag with 3 laptops through a cross country flight and when I pulled it back out the screen was dead. That was after about 2 years of daily use. I got a laptop sleeve to protect the laptop and haven't had any issues since.
I am thinking about getting the CNC lid, though, just to make it a little more robust.
To me the screen just decided to die in a random day, I did not see any obvious reason. Compare to other brands, I have a feeling that the chasis does not provide enough protection to the screen and it seems very fragile :/
For the CNC lid, is it more robust at all or it just offers a more premium looks ?
Milled out of a solid block of 6063 aluminum, so I'm assuming more robust compared to the plastic
Sorry to hear about your screen.
I've had mine for 4 years and never had an issue with the screen. Their hardware quality has seemed kind of suspect though, as my webcam failed (not the module itself though either the wire or something in the mobo that controls it)
