Cory is good Toronto content, and among his many achievements, I think excessive honesty is one of them so yes, I'll trust his review. On the other hand, reading it is a bit more than a review of the Framework, as he lays into Lenovo's ThinkPads and mentions that he just had a hip replacement. Wait, what? I think of Cory as "young" (we shared some social groups many years back), what's he doing getting a hip replaced? Okay, I'm getting slightly off track (but then, so did he). I'm enthusiastic about the Framework, and am a likely purchaser ... but I have to admit I'm really, really hoping they come out with an AMD motherboard for the thing before I need my next laptop. That's the only thing I thought was missing: I'm not happy with Intel. Not their market dominance, not their poor price-to-performance ratio, and not their chip's security flaws. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
