That is really cool. One thing I have to ask though. Does the Framework have the same problem as other bottom intake fans that collect dust inside the fan?

It really depends on your usage environment, but one good thing is that its probably easier to clean the fans on a Framework Laptop than on most other laptops!

Still hoping for a fanless model one day.

They do sell risc development boards- i hope that either that becomes mature or a more efficient arm soc becomes an option.

hopefully such Arm option would have Arm SystemReady Compliance so you could just install whatever distro you want on it

I found this to be the opposite of true. There is no easy way to clean the fan on the fw-13. You either need to take the mainboard out completely and disassemble the housing around the fan, or take the entire radiator off from the top and re-paste the cpu. I resorted to using a pick through the small gap on the top. I would say the fw-13 is the hardest to clean of any computer I've owned lately.
